I have a custom post type. What I’d like to do is to display the project categories just on top of the projects so visitors could then filter projects accordingly.
In my functions.php I have:
<?php
require_once('portfolio-type.php');
add_filter('excerpt_length', 'my_excerpt_length');
function my_excerpt_length($length) {
return 25;
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
function new_excerpt_more($text){
return ' ';
}
function portfolio_thumbnail_url($pid){
$image_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($pid);
$image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image_id,'screen-shot');
return $image_url[0];
}
?>
In portfolio-type.php:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'add_theme_support' ) ) {
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
set_post_thumbnail_size( 270, 170, true ); // Normal post thumbnails
add_image_size( 'screen-shot', 720, 540 ); // Full size screen
}
add_action('init', 'portfolio_register');
function portfolio_register() {
$args = array(
'label' => __('Portfolio'),
'singular_label' => __('Project'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
);
register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
}
register_taxonomy("project-type", array("portfolio"), array("hierarchical" => true, "label" => "Project Types", "singular_label" => "Project Type", "rewrite" => true));
?>
And finally in my index.php I have:
<!-- Start Projects -->
<div id="posts" class="row isotope">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$title= str_ireplace('"', '', trim(get_the_title()));
$desc= str_ireplace('"', '', trim(get_the_content()));
?>
<div class="item post item span4 isotope-item">
<a class="project-wrp fancybox" title="<?=$title?>" rel="lightbox[work]" href="<?php print portfolio_thumbnail_url($post->ID) ?>" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener"><div class="profile-photo"><div class="profile-icon">f</div><?php the_post_thumbnail(array('230','170'),array('alt' => '')); ?> </div>
<div class="project-name"><?php echo $title; ?></div>
<div class="project-client"><?php echo $desc; ?></div>
</a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</div>

Method 1
Remove your code from portfolio-type.php that registers post type and taxonomy (line 9 onwards).
Use the following code (in portfolio-type.php) to register the post type “portfolio”
function portfolio_register() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Portfolio', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Portfolio Item', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'portfolio item'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Portfolio Item'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Portfolio Item'),
'new_item' => __('New Portfolio Item'),
'view_item' => __('View Portfolio Item'),
'search_items' => __('Search Portfolio Items'),
'not_found' => __('Nothing found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => 8,
'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail')
);
register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
}
add_action('init', 'portfolio_register');
Use the following code (in portfolio-type.php) to register a taxonomy “portfolio_categories” for the post type “portfolio”, make it hierarchical (like categories)
function create_portfolio_taxonomies() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Categories' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Categories' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Category' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Category:' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Category' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Category' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Category' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Category Name' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Categories' ),
);
$args = array(
'hierarchical' => true, // Set this to 'false' for non-hierarchical taxonomy (like tags)
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'categories' ),
);
register_taxonomy( 'portfolio_categories', array( 'portfolio' ), $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_portfolio_taxonomies', 0 );
Then use the following code to retrieve taxonomy terms in template files (like index.php)
<?php
$taxonomy = 'portfolio_categories';
$terms = get_terms($taxonomy); // Get all terms of a taxonomy
if ( $terms && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ) :
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ( $terms as $term ) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_term_link($term->slug, $taxonomy); ?>" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<?php endif;?>
?>
Let me know if you need any clarification.
Method 2
For this portfolio post categories list use:
<?php echo get_the_term_list(get_the_ID(), 'portfolio_category', '', ', ', ''); ?>
Method 3
This code works.
$term_args = array(
'post_type' => 'portfolio',
'taxonomy' => 'project-type',
'hide_empty' => true,
'fields' => 'all'
);
$term_query = new WP_Term_Query( $term_args );
