Show Current Post Terms With PHP

Table of Contents

It is possible to add the “Terms for Current Post” output directly into your site’s PHP files.

The best approach is to use the PHP to include the shortcode inside a PHP snippet, as in this example below.

<?php echo do_shortcode("[taxopress_postterms id="1"]"); ?>

Legacy PHP Code #

There is also a legacy option allows you to make choices directly in the PHP code. This feature extends WordPress built-in function “the_tags()”. This is the basic code snippet.

<?php st_the_tags(); ?>

Here are examples of how you can customize that basic code with more details:

'before' => __('Tags: ', 'simpletags'),
'separator' => ', ',
'after' => '<br />',
'post_id' => '',
'xformat' => __('<a href="%tag_link%" title="%tag_name%" %tag_rel%>%tag_name%</a>', 'simpletags'),
'notagtext' => __('No tag for this post.', 'simpletags'),
'number' => 0

Here are all the legacy code parameters:

  • before
    • (string) Text to display before the actual tags are displayed. Defaults to Tags:
  • separator
    • (string) Text or character to display between each tag link. The default is a comma (,) between each tag.
