Not all Terms Being listed WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out why in the following code, the number of terms listed stops at the 3rd term.

I know their are some issues existing with pagination, but first, I'm trying to see why the term count is limited.

If I take out the following line, the code works great and displays ALL the terms in 100gridgroups.

if( get_field('star_rating', '100gridgroups_'.$lc->term_id) != 'star5' ) continue;

However, if in place, the query stops at the 3rd term. I can't figure out why but I think it's related to the pagination settings. Can I get some advice please?

Dbranes answers:

Hi, I guess you keep these terms <em>custom fields</em> in the <em>wp_options</em> table.

Your query:

$libcats = get_terms( '100gridgroups', $_libargs);


doesn't know about the these custom fields, so if this part:

if( get_field('star_rating', '100gridgroups_'.$lc->term_id) != 'star5' ) continue;


stops your loop after 3 turns, it just means that the <em>star_rating</em> custom field isn't <em>star5</em> anymore.

But I'm afraid I can't tell you why that is ;-)

You should try to echo the <em>get_field</em> values to check the real values.

Hm, well I have another (simpler) template - without pagination using the following code, and it works just great! It retrieves all the terms with star5 value. I just can't figure out why the one above seems to be affected by the pagination part.

Dbranes comments:

I think what you're experiencing is that since the <em>get_terms()</em> query doesn't know about your <em>star_rating</em> values,
then with the above pagination, you could get an empty output on some pages or only few items.


Dbranes comments:

As I understand it your loop could be, for example, with the <em>star_rating</em> custom fields:

star5
star2
star1
star3
--- page 2
star4
star5
star3
star5
--- page 3
star1
star4
star2
star1
star3
--- page 4
... etc


and then you're filtering out <em>star5</em> values.

So that means some pages could give you empty output, or only few <em>star5</em> items.

The above example, filtered with <em>star5</em>, would give:

star5
--- page 2
star5
star5
--- page 3
--- page 4
... etc


So I think this is the problem.




streetfire comments:

Hi, You are exactly right. I check to see if that is what's happening. Sure enough...

Page 1
- 3 terms (with 5 stars)

Page 2
- Empty

Page 3
- 1 term (with 5 stars)

Page 4
- 1 term (with 5 stars)

Now I wonder how to fix this - if its possible with pagination?


Dbranes comments:

You have chosen a difficult path, filtering the terms with some values from the <em>wp_options</em> table isn't easy.

Regarding a solution, three possibilities come to mind:

1) Find a way to modify the SQL of the <em>get_terms</em> call to fetch only terms with <em>stars5</em>
2) Fetch all the terms without any pagination, then filter out the <em>stars5</em> terms via PHP into an array, then apply your paging scheme to that array.
3) Change the strategy.


I'm afraid #1 could be difficult if the data is stored as a serialized array.


Dbranes comments:

How does the data look like in the <em>wp_options</em> table, that you're fetching with the <em>get_field</em> function?


streetfire comments:

Hehe, yes my client requests difficult features 90% of the way through development. :) Thank you for your input. I will probably have to go with either 2 or 3 there. ;)
