Display current post custom taxonomy in WordPress

How to display current post taxonomies and terms

Here is a modified code from the Codex (see link below) that will display all the taxonomies of the current post with attached terms:

<?php // get taxonomies terms linksfunction custom_taxonomies_terms_links() {    global $post, $post_id;    // get post by post id    $post = &get_post($post->ID);    // get post type by post    $post_type = $post->post_type;    // get post type taxonomies    $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post_type);    $out = "<ul>";    foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {                $out .= "<li>".$taxonomy.": ";        // get the terms related to post        $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );        if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {            foreach ( $terms as $term )                $out .= '<a href="' .get_term_link($term->slug, $taxonomy) .'">'.$term->name.'</a> ';        }        $out .= "</li>";    }    $out .= "</ul>";    return $out;} ?>

This is used like this:

    <?php echo custom_taxonomies_terms_links();?>

Demo output

The output might look like this if the current post has the taxonomies country and city:

<ul>    <li>  country:            <a href="http://example.com/country/denmark/">Denmark</a>           <a href="http://example.com/country/russia/">Russia</a>     </li>     <li>   city:             <a href="http://example.com/city/copenhagen/">Copenhagen</a>            <a href="http://example.com/city/moscow/">Moscow</a>     </li> </ul>

Reference

The original code example in the Codex:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_terms#Get_terms_for_all_custom_taxonomies

Hope this helps - I'm sure you can adapt this to your project ;-)

Update

But what if I want to display only some of them and not all of them? Also, I would like to name them myself instead of it giving taxonomy names with underscores. Any idea how can I achieve that?

Here is one modification to achieve that:

function custom_taxonomies_terms_links() {    global $post;    // some custom taxonomies:    $taxonomies = array(                          "country"=>"My Countries: ",                         "city"=>"My cities: "                   );    $out = "<ul>";    foreach ($taxonomies as $tax => $taxname) {             $out .= "<li>";        $out .= $taxname;        // get the terms related to post        $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $tax );        if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {            foreach ( $terms as $term )                $out .= '<a href="' .get_term_link($term->slug, $tax) .'">'.$term->name.'</a> ';        }        $out .= "</li>";    }    $out .= "</ul>";    return $out;} 

Just in case someone wants to display them grouped by parent.

It's basically the same answer as above. I used this answer form another post:https://stackoverflow.com/a/12144671to group them (by id and by parent).

Function modified to use it with objects:

function object_group_assoc($array, $key) {    $return = array();    foreach($array as $object) {        $return[$object->$key][] = $object;    }    return $return;}

Final function:

// get taxonomies terms linksfunction custom_taxonomies_terms_links() {    global $post, $post_id;    // get post by post id    $post = &get_post($post->ID);    // get post type by post    $post_type = $post->post_type;    // get post type taxonomies    $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post_type);    $out = "<ul>";    foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {        $out .= "<li>".$taxonomy.": ";        // get the terms related to post        $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );        if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {            $terms_by_id = object_group_assoc($terms, 'term_id');            $terms_by_parent = object_group_assoc($terms, 'parent');            krsort($terms_by_parent);            foreach ( $terms_by_parent as $parent_id => $children_terms ){                if($parent_id != 0){//Childs                    //Add parent to out string                    $parent_term = $terms_by_id[$parent_id][0]; //[0] because object_group_assoc return each element in an array                    $out .= '<li><a href="' .get_term_link($parent_term->slug, $taxonomy) .'">'.$parent_term->name.'</a>';                    //Add children to out string                    $out .= '<ul>';                    foreach ($children_terms as $child_term) {                        $out .= '<li><a href="' .get_term_link($child_term->slug, $taxonomy) .'">'.$child_term->name.'</a></li>';                    }                    $out .= '</ul></li>';                } else {//parent_id == 0                    foreach ($children_terms as $child_term) {                        if(!array_key_exists($child_term->term_id, $terms_by_parent)){//Not displayed yet becouse it doesn't has children                            $out .= '<li><a href="' .get_term_link($child_term->slug, $taxonomy) .'">'.$child_term->name.'</a></li>';                        }                    }                    $out .= '</ul></li>';                }            }        }        $out .= "</li>";    }    $out .= "</ul>";    return $out;}

Used the same way:

<?php echo custom_taxonomies_terms_links();?>

Note: just working with one level children terms.
