Echo child category/taxonomy name in loop

[Richard]

Hello.

I having trouble displaying a child taxonomy name. Here’s what I’m trying to do. I have the Events category ‘specials’ with its children ‘lunch’ and ‘dinner.’ All I want to do is echo the name of the child taxonomy depending on whether it’s in ‘lunch’ or ‘dinner.’ So if it’s a lunch special ‘lunch’ automatically appears without having to manually type it in.

I assume this can be done using get_terms() or get_the_terms() in conjunction with something like:

‘tax_query’=> array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘id’,
‘terms’ => ‘102’,
‘operator’ => ‘IN’
)
)

…but I haven’t been able to get it to work.

Thank you for any help you can give me!

Hi Richard,

tax_query is only to be used as a query parameter within wp_query or tribe_get_events – you should be able to use one of the other native WordPress functions to get the taxonomy name. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms – look at the bottom for other related functions.

I hope that helps!
