Displaying Tags on taxonomy page
Your problem is your custom query. One very important note here is, never ever change replace the main query with a custom one on any type of archive page or the home page. I have explained everything in detail in this post recently. Make sure to read it and all the linked posts as this will benefit you a lot
Your solution would be to remove your custom query and replace this with the default loop that we all know
if ( have_posts() ) { while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); // Your template tags and html mark up }}If you need to change anything in the main query, use pre_get_posts to do so
EDIT
Your best idea here would be to use a full tax_query to display posts that is in the selected taxonomy term and tag
You can try something like this: (Requires at least PHP 5.4+. Also, this untested)
$q = get_queried_object();$args = [ 'post_type' => 'sectors', 'tax_query' => [ [ 'taxonomy' => $q->taxonomy, 'terms' => $q->term_id, 'include_children' => false // Exclude child terms ], [ 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'sector1', //I believe this is the slug ], ],];For older PHP versions, use the following
$q = get_queried_object();$args = array( 'post_type' => 'sectors', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $q->taxonomy, 'terms' => $q->term_id, 'include_children' => false // Exclude child terms ), array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'sector1', //I believe this is the slug ), ),);EDIT 2
To exclude posts that are in the sector1 tag and any other sectorX tag, you can do the following
You can try something like this: (Requires at least PHP 5.4+. Also, this untested)
$q = get_queried_object();$args = [ 'post_type' => 'sectors', 'tax_query' => [ [ 'taxonomy' => $q->taxonomy, 'terms' => $q->term_id, 'include_children' => false // Exclude child terms ], [ 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'sector1', //I believe this is the slug 'operator' => 'NOT_IN' ], ],];For older PHP versions, use the following
$q = get_queried_object();$args = array( 'post_type' => 'sectors', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $q->taxonomy, 'terms' => $q->term_id, 'include_children' => false // Exclude child terms ), array( 'taxonomy' => 'post_tag', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => 'sector1', //I believe this is the slug 'operator' => 'NOT_IN' ), ),);Just note, you can pass an array of tags to the terms parameter like this
'terms' => array( 'sector1', 'sector2', 'etc' ),or short array syntax
'terms' => ['sector1', 'sector2', 'etc'],EDIT 3
As this is your main query, you need to make a few changes. As I have said, remove the custom query. Your main loop should look something like this
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"> <?php echo "<div class='col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12' style='margin-bottom:30px;'>"; ?> <div class="row mobilemargin"> <div class="categorytiletext2"> <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 nopr"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $page->ID, 'categoryimage', array('class' => 'hovereffect newimgheight')); ?> </div> <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12 mobilewhite"> <div class="testdiv"> <h5 class="captext"><?php the_title(); ?></h5> <?php $trimexcerpt = get_the_excerpt(); $shortexcerpt = wp_trim_words( $trimexcerpt, $num_words = 10, $more = '… ' ); echo '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '"><p>' . $shortexcerpt . '</p></a>'; ?> </div> </div> </div> </div> <?php echo "</div>"; ?> </a> <!-- If there is no posts, display an error message --> <?php endwhile; else: ?> <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> <!-- If there is no posts, display an error message -->You can now use pre_get_posts to remove the desired tag from your taxonomy pages. In your functions.php, do the following: (Requires PHP 5.3+, and is also untested)
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $q ){ if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_tax() ) { $q->set( 'tag__not_in', array( 145 ) ); }});For older versions use
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'so30256167_remove_tags' );function so30256167_remove_tags( $q ){ if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_tax() ) { $q->set( 'tag__not_in', array( 145 ) ); }}Just remember to change 145 to your exact tag id or an array of tagids
EDIT 4
If you don't have the tag ids, you can use get_term_by() to get the tag id from the tag slug. Something like this will do: (Requires PHP 5.3+, and is also untested)
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $q ){ if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_tax() ) { $tag_object = get_term_by( 'slug', 'sector1', 'post_tag' ); $tagID = $tag_object->term_id; $q->set( 'tag__not_in', array( $tagID ) ); }});For older versions use
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'so30256167_remove_tags' );function so30256167_remove_tags( $q ){ if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_tax() ) { $tag_object = get_term_by( 'slug', 'sector1', 'post_tag' ); $tagID = $tag_object->term_id; $q->set( 'tag__not_in', array( $tagID ) ); }}If you have an array of tag slugs, you can replace the following
$tag_object = get_term_by( 'slug', 'sector1', 'post_tag' ); $tagID = $tag_object->term_id; $q->set( 'tag__not_in', array( $tagID ) );/*with
$tag_array = array( 'slug1', 'slug2', 'slug3' );foreach ( $tag_array as $tag ) { $tag_object = get_term_by( 'slug', $tag, 'post_tag' ); $tagids[] = $tag_object->term_id;} $q->set( 'tag__not_in', $tagids );Just remember to change the slugs accordingly
EDIT 5
Your final code in functions.php with pre_get_posts should be
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'so30256167_remove_tags' );function so30256167_remove_tags( $q ){ if ( !is_admin() && $q->is_main_query() && $q->is_tax() ) { $tag_array = array( 'sector1', 'sector2', 'sector3', 'sector4' ); foreach ( $tag_array as $tag ) { $tag_object = get_term_by( 'slug', $tag, 'post_tag' ); $tagids[] = $tag_object->term_id; } $q->set( 'tag__not_in', $tagids ); }}
