Custom Taxonomy archieve page
5 replies · Started by Javier on June 20, 2022
I have an archive for custom taxonomy where all the elements in the current term are listed.
I would like to show only the child terms of the current term.
[Current term title]
[Current term description]
-sub term 1 title] -sub term 2 title] -sub term 3 title]
-sub term 4 title] -sub term 4 title] -sub term 6 title]And if I want to show the results as this:
[Current term title]
[Current term description]
-Child term 1 title]
-Child term 1 posts]
-Child term 2 title]
-Child term 2 posts]
How can I achieve this?
Hi there,
just so i understand - are you requiring 2 different options?
1. Parent archive has Title, Description and a list of Child terms
2. Parent archive has Title, Description and Sections of Posts split by child terms
When is 1 requried? and when is 2 required ?
Yes exactly, but this are two different options.
I want to achieve the two ways and then decide which works better in this case.
Maybe in some cases where child terms have few posts show option 2 and when child have many posts show 1 option.
OK, so neither option are easy to achieve and would requires some level of custom development.
Question - how many parent taxonomy terms will there be ? Is it just the one archive or many ?
It will be more or less 8 parent terms, but only some of them have child terms, so I suppose I must override archive template with a file "taxonomy-[taxonomy_name]-[term_name].php"
You should be able to work with a higher level template eg. taxonomy-[taxonomy_name].php
You can then use get_queried_object() to determine which term is being viewed.
I found an example of a nested loop here using that method:

You may want to find a developer how can write a custom wp_query that gets ALL posts in a single query then outputs them, as opposed to running many queries on the same page.
