I have a wp_nav_menu, and it has two top level pages that have a bunch of
terms I've created for two custom taxonomies, which are for the two top
level pages. I'm trying to figure out how I can hide the terms from the drop
down menu I made that shows the terms, if there are no posts assigned to a
term of the taxonomies. Is this possible? It doesn't seem like it is.
As for Kris Young's question about showing all posts of a taxonomy, this is
a problem I ran into as well, and searched for a long time and found it very
hard to figure out.
What I managed to do is list all terms for a taxonomy, and all the posts for
each term individually. You may be able to hack this to do what you're
trying to do since it is the same as what I needed to do I just didn't have
time to make it list only the posts for the taxonomy.
<?php
// Create list of taxonomy terms and list the posts under each term
$post_type = 'post';
$tax = 'your_custom_taxonomy';
$tax_terms = get_terms( $tax );
if ($tax_terms) {
foreach ($tax_terms as $tax_term) {
$args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
"tax" => $tax_term->slug,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<h2 class="breadcrumb">All <?php echo $tax; ?> Posts For <?php
echo $tax_term->name; ?></h2>
<ul class="taxlist">
<?php while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
?>
<li id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"
title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title();
?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; // end of loop ?>
</ul>
<?php if( function_exists('wp_pagenavi')) { wp_pagenavi(); }
else { ?>
<div class="navigation clearfix">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('«
Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next
Entries »') ?></div>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="title">Oops</h2>
<p>Looks like something is missing...</p>
<?php endif; // if have_posts()
wp_reset_query();
} // end foreach #tax_terms
}
?>
Hope this helps.
