Hello,
If I want to list some custom-selected posts on a page, I would create a post object field on the option page and allow the user to select the posts they want to display.
What about Taxonomy Terms? For instance, if I want to display custom-selected tags from post_tag and show them on a page, is there a way to select those objects and retrieve them on the frontend? (Something you can see on a blog site a sidebar displaying a list of popular tags for visitors to select. However, I want to have them manually selected.)
Is it possible or is there any workaround?
Thanks
Yes, it is indeed possible to manually select taxonomy terms, such as tags, for display on a page in WordPress. To achieve this, you can use a similar approach to what you would use for selecting posts. First, create a custom field on your options page where you can add taxonomy terms. This could be accomplished using a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or by creating a custom options page with code. In the custom field, you would allow the user to select terms from the desired taxonomy (e.g., post_tag). On the frontend, you can then retrieve and display these selected terms by querying the options page where they were stored. This approach allows you to have a static list of selected tags displayed on your page, which can be styled and utilized just like a dynamic tag cloud but with manually curated terms.
