Are you looking to customize your WordPress website by creating specific conditions based on taxonomies? If so, you’re in luck! In this article, we’ll explore the power of the custom taxonomy conditional tag in WordPress. With this conditional tag, you can control the display of certain elements or content based on the specific taxonomies assigned to your posts. Join us as we dive into the world of custom taxonomy conditional tags and learn how to leverage them for maximum flexibility and customization on your WordPress site.
function wpturbo_has_custom_taxonomy() {
global $post;
$taxonomy = 'custom_taxonomy';
$term = 'custom_term';
if (has_term($term, $taxonomy, $post)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
The code snippet provided is a function called wpturbo_has_custom_taxonomy() that checks if a specific post has a specific term from a custom taxonomy. This function can be useful when you want to conditionally display content based on whether a post has a particular term assigned to it.
First, we use the global $post statement to access the current post object. This allows us to check if the current post has the desired term from the custom taxonomy.
Next, we declare two variables: $taxonomy and $term. $taxonomy represents the custom taxonomy we want to check, and $term represents the specific term we are checking for.
Inside the function, we use the has_term() function to check if the post has the specified term from the custom taxonomy. The has_term() function takes three parameters: the term, the taxonomy, and the post object. In our case, we pass in $term as the term, $taxonomy as the taxonomy, and $post as the post object.
The has_term() function returns true if the post has the specified term from the custom taxonomy, and false otherwise. Therefore, if the condition has_term($term, $taxonomy, $post) is true, we return true from the function. Otherwise, we return false.
You can modify the function by changing the values of $taxonomy and $term to match the specific custom taxonomy and term you want to check for.
To use this function, you can simply call it in your template file or any other appropriate location in your theme or plugin, and then perform conditional logic based on its return value. For example:
if (wpturbo_has_custom_taxonomy()) {
// Display specific content if the post has the specified term from the custom taxonomy
} else {
// Display different content if the post does not have the specified term from the custom taxonomy
}By using this conditional check, you can control the display of content based on whether a post has a specific term from a custom taxonomy.
