I want to display product assigned terms, wrapped in link/anchor MarkUp, in my sidebar on a page as a widget. I am not getting the correct tag URL. Code returns visited product URL instead of listed tags URL.

Here is the problematic part of the code. What is the correct use of get_the_terms()?

$custom_terms = get_the_terms( 0, 'product_tag' );
if ( $custom_terms ) {
    foreach ( $custom_terms as $custom_term ) {
        echo '<a href="'
            . esc_url( $term_link )
            . '" style="font-size: 8pt;">'
            . $custom_term->name
            . '</a>';
    }
}

I guess that something i wrong with esc_url( $term_link ), but what?

    Note: Only because a question contains the word Woocommerce it doesn't justify close and/or down-votes. Just saying.. Oct 8, 2014 at 10:00
  • $term_link is still not set. The correct snippet appears to have never been posted.

Keep in mind that the return value of get_the_terms() can be of the type of

array|WP_Error

Your snippet should check if you get the correct type returned

$terms = get_the_terms( 0, 'product_tag' );
if (
    ! is_wp_error( $terms )
    AND is_array( $terms )
    AND ! empty( $terms )
    )
{
    foreach( $terms as $term )
        printf(
            '<a href="%s" style="font-size: 8pt; margin-right:5px;">%s</a>',
            esc_url( get_term_link( $term ) ),
            $term
        );
}

Thanks to Mark, I solve this successfully.

Update: Thanks to Kaiser part of the code has been updated. Here is the final code.

<?php 

$custom_terms = get_the_terms(0,'product_tag');
if (
          ! is_wp_error( $custom_terms )
          AND is_array( $custom_terms )
          AND ! empty( $custom_terms )
         )
          {
            foreach ($custom_terms as $custom_term) {

            $term_link = get_term_link( $custom_term );
                echo '<a href="'. esc_url( $term_link ). '" style="font-size: 8pt; margin-right:5px;">'.$custom_term->name.'</a>';
            }
        }

        ?>
