Let's say for example: I have a custom taxonomy called "fruit", which has 3 terms "apple", "orange", and "grape". So in order to get all the posts within all these three terms, I would :

$args = array(
        'post_per_page' => '-1',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'fruit',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array('apple','orange','grape')
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
... Stuff to display from each post
endwhile;

Now the above loop will display all the post from every terms. My question is, how do I separate each terms so I can display Apples inside a div#apple, orange inside a div#orange, and grape inside a div#grape. I am trying to use conditional statement, but I can't figure out how to...

  • Could you not have three separate queries? Then output the results of each in it's own div. Jan 19, 2012 at 1:40
  • Thanks @StephenHarris, thats how I have it now. But I was wondering if it was possible to create conditional statement, which checks something like, if term = 'orange' then output only orange posts, and else if term = 'apple' then output apple posts, etc. Jan 19, 2012 at 2:14
  • yes, but where is 'term' coming from? When you register your custom taxonomy you can choose to enable archives- this will create a page for each term which displays all posts of that particular term if that's what you're after. Jan 19, 2012 at 2:23
  • Nope, archive is not really what I am looking for. But I guess, individual queries as you suggested earlier, will be fine for now, unless someone else know of some other trick using conditions. Jan 19, 2012 at 2:38
  • Please post a var_dump of your $query here.

Here is how you can group your post listing based on their terms. First you need to add the following code to your functions.php

// join the term_taxonomy table so we can get the term id with the post
add_filter( 'posts_join_paged', 'wpse39380_posts_join', 10, 2 );
function wpse39380_posts_join( $join, $query ) {
        // you need to add your check here so not all queries are modified
    if ( $query->is_archive && $query->tax_query ) {
        $join .= " LEFT JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id=wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id";
    }
    return $join;
}
// order the posts by term_id
add_filter('posts_orderby', 'wpse39380_orderby_terms', 10, 2 );
function wpse39380_orderby_terms( $orderby, $query ) {
        // you need to add your check here so not all queries are modified
    if ( $query->is_archive && $query->tax_query ) {
        return ' wp_term_taxonomy.term_id ';
    }
    return $orderby;
}
// add the term_id to select fields
add_filter( 'posts_fields', 'wpse39380_posts_field', 10, 2 );
function wpse39380_posts_field( $fields, $query ) {
        // you need to add your check here so not all queries are modified
    if ( $query->is_archive && $query->tax_query ) {
        $fields .= ", wp_term_taxonomy.term_id";
        return $fields;
    }
    return $fields;
}

Now your custom loop will look like following:

$args = array(
    'post_per_page' => '-1',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'fruit',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array('apple','orange','grape')
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

$current_term = null;   // to keep track of term 
while($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
            global $post;
            // if we have current_term set
            // and current_term not equal to the current post term
            if ( $current_term && $current_term != $post->term_id ) {
                echo '</div>';
                $current_term = null;
            }

            // if current_term is null then either its the first iteration
            // or the last term posts have been displayed
            if ( $current_term === null ) {
                $current_term = $post->term_id;
                $term = get_term( ( int ) $current_term, 'fruit' );
                echo "<div id='$term->name'>";
                echo "<h2>$term->name</h2>";
            }
            the_title(); 
            echo '<br />';

endwhile;
if ( $current_term ) {
    echo '</div>';
}
