Additional Category Fields WordPress
Hi All,
I have a blog which I have developed for a client which is near completion, except for one more issue.
Basically, we have created additional options within the Posts > Categories so that the user can add a Twitter, Facebook & Youtube URL. All of that has been created.
However, when I try and pull the information onto the front end of the category pages, it displays the URL's but of a different category. Some it works for fine, but I would say half just doesn't display the correct ones.
It looks like if a post within that category has also been assigned another category it uses that category's information instead.
Any ideas how I can get around this issue? The code I have so far is below (Please note, the information I am calling is within a tooltip):
[code]
<?php $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) ); ?>
<?php
$category = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
$terms = get_the_terms( $category->cat_ID , 'category' );
if($terms) {
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
$t_id = $term->term_id;
$term_meta = get_option( "taxonomy_$t_id" ); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('.follow_us ul li a.twitter').data('powertipjq', jQuery([

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
That unfortunately pulled up an error, by not displaying anything below.
Any other ideas?
Navjot Singh answers:
get_the_terms() accepts Post ID and not category ID.
Try changing this
$terms = get_the_terms( $category->cat_ID , 'category' );
to
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'category' );

Hi,
I have changed that code, but it still doesn't display the correct information.
Any other ideas?

Does anybody have any other ideas? really struggling here.
Hariprasad Vijayan answers:
Hi,
How many category you are selecting while adding a post? If you are selecting multiple category for a post, remove multiple selection and check. Let me know it is working?
craigfarrall comments:
Yes, more than one category has been added to certain posts, so I think that is where I am struggling.
Any ideas?
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
Avoid multiple selection. Hope it will work.
craigfarrall comments:
It is quite hard to avoid multiple selection, as that is what it's main purpose is.
Anybody else have any ideas on this? I really need to find a resolve for it.
Thanks.
