[Support request] How do I display a Custom Taxonomy on my Single Posts

[Nates]

Hi

I created a taxonomy called Topics, using Custom Post Type UI. On my single posts, I would to keep displaying the category/tag but also include the topics taxonomy.

How do I achieve this please?

Regards

Hi there,

Try this:

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) {
    $term_list = get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'topic', '', ', ' );

    if ( 'topics' === $item && $term_list ) {
        printf( '<span class="tags-links">%3$s<span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span> ', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
            esc_html_x( 'Topics', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
            $term_list,
            apply_filters( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', '', 'topics' )
        );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'generate_footer_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    return array(
        'categories',
        'tags',
        'topics',
        'comments-link',
        'post-navigation',
    );
} );

Thanks, but it did not work. The CTX slug is ‘topic’

add_action( 'generate_post_meta_items', function( $item ) 
{
    $term_list = get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'topic', '', ', ' );

    if ( 'topic' === $item && $term_list ) {
        printf( '<span class="tags-links">%3$s<span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span> ', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
            esc_html_x( 'Topics', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
            $categories_list,
            apply_filters( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', '', 'topic' )
        );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'generate_footer_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    return array(
        'categories',
        'tags',
        'topic',
        'comments-link',
    );
} );

$term_list = the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'topic', '', ', ' );

I made this change (the_terms instead of the_terms_list) and it now displays my topic x3 times on the single post… ?

Can you try the updated code above?: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-display-a-custom-taxonomy-on-my-single-posts/#post-1194051

I did originally and never worked, I had to change topics to topic, then I tried the other stuff I mentioned to TRY and get it to work..

[Tom]

Did you try it again? I updated it after your last reply.

[Nates]

Thanks! It iss working.. How do I add an icon to the front though?

[Tom]

You can do this:

add_filter( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', function( $output, $item ) {
    if ( 'topic' === $item ) {
        return 'YOUR ICON ELEMENT HERE';
    }

    return $output;
}, 10, 2 );
