Display Parent Term of Current Child Term WordPress
- SOLVED
I have several parent/child terms
I have pages displaying my taxonomy child terms (not parents) and I would like to show the parent of each taxonomy term as a link next to the child term name.
Can't figure out a method to accomplish this.
I've tried these, but so far no luck.
<?php
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( '100gridgroups' ) );
$parent = get_term_by( 'id', $term->parent, get_query_var( '100gridgroups' ) );
if($parent):
echo $parent->name;
endif;
?>
<?php the_terms( '100gridgroups', array( 'parent' => 0 ) );?>

Hi there, see link in original post

Try this,
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', $lc->slug, '100gridgroups' );
$parent = get_term_by( 'id', $term->parent, '100gridgroups' );
if($parent):
echo $parent->name;
endif;
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
May be this is enough i think
$parent = get_term_by( 'id', $lc->parent, '100gridgroups' );
if($parent):
echo $parent->name;
endif;
streetfire comments:
Your first solution works :) :) :) Second one did not.
Hariprasad Vijayan comments:
I was just checking, mon_get_alpha_terms() function outputs something else. I thought it outputs term details.
streetfire comments:
Yeah, mon_get_alpha_terms() is some crazy term sorting function. Thanks for the help!
John Cotton answers:
Assuming that 'term' is a valid query var, your first block of code looks OK to me except for one thing.
Shouldn't the taxonomy param in each line just be '100gridgroups' instead of get_query_var( '100gridgroups' )?
streetfire comments:
Hum, perhaps... but removing it didn't make the terms show up.
I'm not sure if I should use term or $lc.
I'm going to post my template code above.
John Cotton comments:
$lc.
You really need to post all your code if you are having problems - we can't guess at your variable names!

Try this:
$term_id = $term->term_id;
$child_term = get_term( $term_id, 'category' );
$parent_term = get_term( $child_term->parent, 'category' );
And make sure you replace your category with your current taxonomy (if it's different)
streetfire comments:
$term_id = $term->term_id;
$child_term = get_term( $term_id, '100gridgroups' );
$parent_term = get_term( $child_term->parent, '100gridgroups' );
No worky :(
Tache Madalin comments:
Can you please do this?:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($term);
echo '---';
print_r($term_id);
echo '--';
print_r($child_term);
echo '--';
print_r($parent_term);
echo "</pre>";
And paste the output please ?
Thanks.
