how can i display taxonomy instead of category on my web page?

Question

I want to display taxonomies instead of categories on the homepage of my blog. What can I do to achieve this?

Answer 1

@neha In the code posted by Jared, please look at this line --> echo "<li>$term->name</li>

That's what made the output into a list.

For anyone to suggest the code, you should've mentioned how would you like to have it output?

Say, for a big title --> echo "<h1>$term->name</h1>
Or, into a blockquote --> echo "<blockquote>$term->name</blockquote> Or, as a regular paragraph --> echo "<p>$term->name</p>

How exactly would you like it to be displayed?

Answer 2

Try

wp_list_categories('taxonomy=operating_system'); 

Answer 3

I think what you are looking for is this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms

Example of how to get all my_taxonomy terms and echo them in an unordered list.

 $terms = get_terms( "my_taxonomy" );
 $count = count( $terms );
 if ( $count > 0 ){
     echo "<ul>";
     foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
       echo "<li>$term->name</li>";
     }
     echo "</ul>";
 }
