Is there any method to create different template in a theme for different category tags search? For example, I have category 'blog' and category 'glossary' - there is no any similar tag for both categories. I need to open tags from blogs this way: /blog/tag/any-tag-blog /glossary/tag/any-tag-glossary

what method can I use in the theme for splitting tags result and to have different template pages for these categories?

You can make the following templates named:

category-blog.php
category-glossary.php

If these are custom taxonomies:

taxonomy-blog.php
taxonomy-glossary.php

  • I know this way but this is not what I need. 'Blog' and 'Glossary' are posts categories - they have different templates. The posts have their tags - posts from blog category have any tags and posts from glossary category have other tags. I need the templates for 'blog/tag/some-tag' and other template for 'glossary/tag/other-tag' . I found a way with $_GET. But this is not same. Dec 15, 2020 at 9:21

Dedicated tag or category pages are very doable.

You would use the following format category-catslug.php for each tag you want a special template for.

There is a help page covering this in greater detail.

Here is the hierarchy of files for templates in WordPress.

To then show tags on the category page, you would have to write some custom code in the custom category file to use the loop with wp_query to generate your results. Probably by inspecting $wp->request and/or $wp->query_vars.

  • I asked for another thing. This template is for a tag (tag-{slug}.php – If the tag’s slug is sometag, WordPress will look for tag-sometag.php.) I am looking for template which will combine category + tag template. I found a decision in URL like this: //site.com/category/?tag=sometag . But I try to find a decision to open like this: site.com/category/tag/sometag - the template should be same for all tags in this category, for another categories tags I need another template.

  • @ALexanderLead I see. I've updated my answer to reflect this part of the question. Dec 24, 2020 at 12:06
