I am trying to retreive a term id based on the term name using the “get_term_by” function that is build into WordPress. However, this function only retrieves one item from the array that i get them from. But there are multiple items in this array.
This is my current code:
$filter_terms = get_term_by( 'name', $widget['select'], 'portfolio-categories');
This is what is inside $widget['select']
when I dump it: array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "Beard" [1]=> string(3) "Tag" }
So in this array “Beard” and “Tag” are two terms where I want to get the ID from, however, if I dump $filter_terms
I get this:
object(WP_Term)#634 (10) {
["term_id"]=> int(14)
["name"]=> string(5) "Beard"
["slug"]=> string(5) "beard"
["term_group"]=> int(0)
["term_taxonomy_id"]=> int(14)
["taxonomy"]=> string(20) "portfolio-categories"
["description"]=> string(0) ""
["parent"]=> int(0)
["count"]=> int(2)
["filter"]=> string(3) "raw"
}
So how do i get the above information from both of the terms, except from only one?
