• Hi Vincenzo! So you want to create output like this from your taxonomy? Do you want to write code to do this and add it to your theme? What have you tried so far? – mozboz Commented Jul 1, 2020 at 10:02

You can achieve the result using following code:

$terms = get_terms( array(
    'taxonomy' => 'country',
    'hide_empty' => false,
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'order' => 'ASC',
) );

if ( !empty($terms) ) :
    $output = '<ul>';
    foreach( $terms as $country ) {
        $output.= '<li><a href="'.get_term_link( $country->term_id ).'">'. esc_attr( $country->name ) .'</a></li>';
    }
    $output.='</ul>';
    echo $output;
endif;

Here I'm using get_terms() to get all item of country taxonomy. The checking if there is any item in the list. If yes then I'm looping through them and returning as desired link. get_term_link() is being used to get the term url by using term id.
