  • My custom taxonomy is products and term of them is product-1, product-2 and products-3.
  • My post is assigned to product-2
  • And I want to print the current products = products-2 in my post

In fact, I need a function like WordPress’s the_category(); but for my taxonomy like the_customtaxonomy();

UPDATE :

in facts i know i need to get id of this becuse i need to show a icon for this in my single , for example a function like the_category_ID();

  1. You can use get_the_term_list():

    Description

    Returns an HTML string of taxonomy terms associated with a post and given taxonomy. Terms are linked to their respective term listing pages.

    Usage

    <?php get_the_term_list( $id, $taxonomy, $before, $sep, $after ) ?>

  2. tanks for answer from my friend , i find it for show slug of my taxonomy 

    <?php
 $terms = get_terms('my-taxonomy-name');
 foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
 echo $term->slug.' ';
 }
?>

    and
    but it return all term in my taxonomy and i need to return current term in my taxonomy ..

    UPDATE :

    i finaly find this and add if for empty terms and works 

    <?php   // Get terms for post
 $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'oil' );
 // Loop over each item since it's an array
 if ( $terms != null ){
 foreach( $terms as $term ) {
 // Print the name method from $term which is an OBJECT
 print $term->slug ;
 // Get rid of the other data stored in the object, since it's not needed
 unset($term);
} } ?>

  3. I found it:

    <?php 
//list terms in a given taxonomy using wp_list_categories (also useful as a widget if using a PHP Code plugin)

$taxonomy     = 'genre';
$orderby      = 'name'; 
$show_count   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$pad_counts   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$hierarchical = 1;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$title        = '';

$args = array(
  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
  'orderby'      => $orderby,
  'show_count'   => $show_count,
  'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
  'title_li'     => $title
);
?>

<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>

    It gets all terms in my custom taxonomy and I need to get current term.

  6. Taking what user3208 coded, I have added a bit of code that adds the URL to the Term. Hope that helps someone out.

    <?php   // Get terms for post
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'oil' );
// Loop over each item since it's an array
if ( $terms != null ){
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
$term_link = get_term_link( $term, 'oil' );
 // Print the name and URL
echo '<a href="' . $term_link . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
// Get rid of the other data stored in the object, since it's not needed
unset($term); } } ?>

  7. A bit of update on the subject as this question is about 11 years old, and nobody mentioned it.

    You can use get_query_var().

    Retrieves the value of a query variable in the WP_Query class.
    to get the current term being queried on a taxonomy page.

    Instead of doing a other query, we’re just fetching the term from the current one. Then we can echoed it out on the front-end.

    <?= get_query_var( 'term' ); ?>
