The [[terms]]<\/code> shortcode in the Docy theme is a versatile and useful tool for displaying taxonomy lists associated with various post types in WordPress. By default, it is configured to show the category list of a post, but its flexibility lies in its ability to showcase any taxonomy list through the use of the tax<\/code> attribute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the shortcode-rendered output here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Default Behavior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

  • Example:<\/strong> In a post, simply writing [[terms]]<\/code> will automatically pull and display the list of categories that the post belongs to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Custom Taxonomy Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Using tax<\/code> Attribute:<\/strong> To display a different taxonomy, use the tax<\/code> attribute within the shortcode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Syntax:<\/strong> [[terms tax=\"taxonomy_name\"]]<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Example:<\/strong> If you want to display tags instead of categories, you would write [[terms tax=\"post_tag\"]]<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Attributes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • tax<\/code><\/strong>: Specifies the taxonomy type to display. This can be categories, tags, or any custom taxonomy registered in WordPress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • [[terms tax=\"post_tag\"]]<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • [[terms tax=\"custom_taxonomy\"]]<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Replace custom_taxonomy<\/code> with the name of your custom taxonomy to display its terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Best Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Check Taxonomy Registration:<\/strong> Ensure that the taxonomy you want to display is properly registered in WordPress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Styling and Appearance:<\/strong> The appearance of the taxonomy list will depend on the theme\u2019s CSS. Customize the styles as needed to match your site’s design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Use in Relevant Contexts:<\/strong> This shortcode is most effective when used in contexts where the taxonomy information adds value to the content, such as in blog posts or custom post types.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
