Exclude term from wp_get_object_terms

1 Views

So pretty straightforward, seemingly, but I can’t find any examples in either a) the WordPress Codex; or b) in any examples in the wild. I’m just trying to exclude a term from this output of terms from a custom taxonomy.

I went with wp_get_object_terms instead of get_terms because I have the output needs to be formatted specifically and it seems wp_get_object_terms is the only function that can do the job, although get_terms do have an explicit ‘exclude’ option. So here’s what I’m working with:

<?php $taxopostid = $post->ID;
    $taxoquery = wp_get_object_terms( $taxopostid, 'work-type');
    $taxoslug = $taxoquery[0]->slug;
    $taxotitle = $taxoquery[0]->name; ?>

    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/blog-slug/<?php echo $taxoslug; ?>/" class="cat-link"><?php echo $taxotitle; ?></a>

Any ideas??

  1. I’m going to assume worktype is the taxonomy you want to exclude.

    Step 1

    Get all taxonomies excluding worktype with get_terms() (you know how to do this right?)

    Step 2

    With the result make a flat array only containing all the fetched taxonomies (lets call it $allTaxonomiesExcludingWorkType)

    Step 3

    Add the array as the second argument to

    wp_get_object_terms($taxopostid, $allTaxonomiesExcludingWorkType);

    Not tested but this should help you on your way.
