I've been using the following code to get a template part based on the parent term. It was working fine until I updated WordPress to v4.4 earlier today. Since updating if there is also a child term selected it no longer works to bring in the template part.

Any ideas? I'm tearing my hair out.

<?php

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->id, 'type', array( 'parent' => 0 ) );
$terms_slugs = array();
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
    $terms_slugs[] = $term->slug;
}

if( !empty($terms_slugs) ) :
  get_template_part( 'blocks/block', array_pop($terms_slugs) );
else : endif;

?>

Edit: Solved it! Changing array_pop to array_shift. No idea what the difference is or why array_pop would suddenly stop working. Phew!

  • I'm assuming your file is: theme-name/blocks/block-termname? How does the term-slug look, can you give us an example?

  • File is theme-name/blocks/block-written-in-stone and the term slug is written-in-stone

  • What does "if there is also a child term selected " mean? Where does this fail? With get_the_terms()? With get_template_part()? Can you narrow this down?

  • If the parent category is the only category selected then it works no problem, but if I select a second sub category (child) then it fails to use the template part. It's really odd, as this was working before I upgraded WP this morning.
