Hi.
My challange:
With the help of the taxonomy field (“inspo_kategorie”/return = post object) I want to create a query that gives me all the posts of the selected taxonomy(s) of my CPT “inspiration”.
If it is relevant: The taxonomy field is located in an custom (ACF) gutenberg block. The output of “normal” (text)fields is working.
Here is my code:
<?php
$category = get_field('inspo_kategorie');
$inspo = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'inspiration',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $category
)
)
));
?>
<?php if ( $inspo->have_posts() ) : ?>
<!-- pagination here -->
<?php while ( $inspo->have_posts() ) : $inspo->the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<!-- pagination here -->
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
I can’t find the mistake…
The output is: “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
This is the var_dump of “$category” (outputs the selected taxonomys correctly)
array(2) {
[0]=>
object(WP_Term)#9654 (10) {
["term_id"]=>
int(12)
["name"]=>
string(14) "Brillen-Studio"
["slug"]=>
string(14) "brillen-studio"
["term_group"]=>
int(0)
["term_taxonomy_id"]=>
int(12)
["taxonomy"]=>
string(8) "bereiche"
["description"]=>
string(34) "Inspiration aus dem Brillen-Studio"
["parent"]=>
int(0)
["count"]=>
int(3)
["filter"]=>
string(3) "raw"
}
[1]=>
object(WP_Term)#9646 (10) {
["term_id"]=>
int(13)
["name"]=>
string(20) "Contactlinsen-Studio"
["slug"]=>
string(20) "contactlinsen-studio"
["term_group"]=>
int(0)
["term_taxonomy_id"]=>
int(13)
["taxonomy"]=>
string(8) "bereiche"
["description"]=>
string(0) ""
["parent"]=>
int(0)
["count"]=>
int(1)
["filter"]=>
string(3) "raw"
}
}
As far as I understand it, according to https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#taxonomy-parameters the terms must be an array of terms, not a category object, as your $category is returning. So, you need to loop over the $category object to retrieve the single terms and store them in an array first.
