wp_dropdown_categories | Custom Taxonomy WordPress

I have this code, it works fine.
But I need to "Show All" as an option.


<?php $term = get_queried_object();

$children = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(
'parent' => $term->term_id,
'hide_empty' => false
) ); ?>

<!-- If category is parent, list it -->

<?php if($children) { ?>

<?php

//first get the current term
$current_term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );

//then set the args for wp_dropdown_categories

$orderby = 'name';

$args = array(
'child_of' => $current_term->term_id,
'taxonomy' => $current_term->taxonomy,
'hide_empty' => 1,
'hierarchical' => true,
'depth' => 2,
'title_li' => '',
'orderby'=> $orderby,
'show_option_all' => 'All',
);

?>

<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" method="get">

<div>

<?php $cats = get_categories($args); ?>

<select id="categories">

<?php foreach ($cats as $cat) : ?>

<option value="<?php echo get_term_link($cat, $cat->taxonomy) ?>"><?php echo $cat->name ?></option>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</select>

</div>

</form>



<script>

jQuery(document).ready(function()

{

jQuery('#categories').change(function()

{

window.location = jQuery(this).val();

});

});

</script>

<?php } ?>

Just add it as an option


<select id="categories">
<strong><option value="all">Show all</option></strong>
<?php foreach ($cats as $cat) : ?>
<option value="<?php echo get_term_link($cat, $cat->taxonomy) ?>"><?php echo $cat->name ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>


Luis Abarca comments:

You may also use the bult in function [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories"]]wp_dropdown_categories[[/LINK]]


$args = array(
'child_of' => $current_term->term_id,
'taxonomy' => $current_term->taxonomy,
'hide_if_empty' => 1,
'hierarchical' => true,
'depth' => 2,
'orderby'=> $orderby,
'show_option_all' => 'Show All',
);

wp_dropdown_categories( $args );

Louis, Adding this line:
<option value="all">Show all</option>
can be seen "Show All".
But keeps URL erroneous when selected . Error 404

The show all option should link to your default posts (or CPT) archive. I can't say what's yours without seeing your website, so I inputed the default website url. You can replace it

<?php $term = get_queried_object();



$children = get_terms( $term->taxonomy, array(

'parent' => $term->term_id,

'hide_empty' => false

) ); ?>



<!-- If category is parent, list it -->



<?php if($children) { ?>



<?php



//first get the current term

$current_term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );



//then set the args for wp_dropdown_categories



$orderby = 'name';



$args = array(

'child_of' => $current_term->term_id,

'taxonomy' => $current_term->taxonomy,

'hide_empty' => 1,

'hierarchical' => true,

'depth' => 2,

'title_li' => '',

'orderby'=> $orderby,

'show_option_all' => 'All',

);



?>



<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" method="get">



<div>



<?php $cats = get_categories($args); ?>



<select id="categories">



<?php foreach ($cats as $cat) : ?>


<option value="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Show all</option>
<option value="<?php echo get_term_link($cat, $cat->taxonomy) ?>"><?php echo $cat->name ?></option>



<?php endforeach; ?>



</select>



</div>



</form>







<script>



jQuery(document).ready(function()



{



jQuery('#categories').change(function()



{



window.location = jQuery(this).val();



});



});



</script>



<?php } ?>
