Custom taxonomy category count
1 reply · Started by Jan on November 28, 2022
Hi David,
in this threat you supported Nacho in a similar task.
In my case I'm using a custom taxonomy named wg_chat_categorywhich is linked to a CPT named wg_seo_chat.
How would you revise the following PHP:
function single_post_cat_link_with_count() {
$category = get_the_category();
$first_cat = $category[0];
printf(
'<a class="button" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s <span class="cat-count">%4$s</span></a>',
esc_url( get_category_link( $first_cat->cat_ID) ),
esc_attr( $first_cat->cat_name ),
esc_html( $first_cat->cat_name ),
esc_html( $first_cat->category_count )
);
}
...in order to achieve the result on the page below. Please note, that the numbers in brackets have been manually added.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jan
Hi there,
get_the_category() is for the categorytaxonomy, if it's a custom taxonomy, try get_the_terms() instead.
