There is a new feature in wordpress introducing primary category.
When you select a category, primary category can be specified.
My question is how can I get that primary category name using WordPress Core functions?
if there is no function, can you help me to get the first child of main category?
for example:
– main category
— child cat 1
— child cat 2
— child cat 3
I need to get — child cat 1.
Thanks for you help.
I have editted the MMT Designer function. This works better for me:
if ( ! function_exists( 'get_primary_taxonomy_id' ) ) {
function get_primary_taxonomy_id( $post_id, $taxonomy ) {
$prm_term = '';
if (class_exists('WPSEO_Primary_Term')) {
$wpseo_primary_term = new WPSEO_Primary_Term( $taxonomy, $post_id );
$prm_term = $wpseo_primary_term->get_primary_term();
}
if ( !is_object($wpseo_primary_term) || empty( $prm_term ) ) {
$term = wp_get_post_terms( $post_id, $taxonomy );
if (isset( $term ) && !empty( $term ) ) {
return $term[0]->term_id;
} else {
return '';
}
}
return $wpseo_primary_term->get_primary_term();
}
}
