Posts Query Loop: Hierachical term ordering / separation?

[ddcbf]

Hi!

Currently, the terms just spit out apparently in alphabetical order, regardless of hierarchy.

Example 1 (child, parent ordering):

Example 2 (parent, child ordering):

We need to display the terms in their hierarchical order, with a “breadcrumb” type symbol between them - e.g., Media & Communications ▸ Media.

I have thought of a couple of ideas (however I don’t know how to achieve either…). Order of preference would probably be:

1. “Filter” the dynamic field to only show either parent or child terms, and create two elements; one for each term.

2. Force a reordering of them to be hierarchical.

Thank you!!

PS - I have seen some posts about doing similar things—but these use the Terms loop; and also the solutions are somewhat convoluted/varied. But here they are for reference:

How do I select parent or child when using terms query loop?

I have a workaround for this and it works. First step: Create the function to get the id of the current category: function getCurrentCatID(){ global $wp_query; if(is_category() || is_single()){ $cat_ID = get_query_var('cat'); } return $cat_ID; } Step 2: put dynamic option in parent loop with: {echo:getCurrentCatID} This way it allows to make the filter without problems showing the subcategories

Only show parent term from custom taxonomy

sure, just change product_cat to your custom taxonomy
