I have a simple issue that can’t solve.

I have a Custom Post Type called “Hardware” and inside a taxonomy called “hardware_category”. I'm trying to display a list of my custom posts in each term with the file taxonomy-hardware_category.php but doesn’t return me any result (it should display 5 posts).

Anything special to consider in my template?

Thanks!

<?php 

// File: taxonomy-hardware_category.php

get_header(); 
$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
?>

<div class="main">

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>


        <div class="product">
            <?php the_post_thumbnail('full'); ?>
            <?php the_title(); ?>
        </div>

        <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

• Are you trying to display a list of posts in each term, or a list of terms themselves? – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 15, 2020 at 2:00

Well, first of all, you are not doing anything with the $term variable. You are querying it, but then it sits there, waiting to be picked up.

Try this code in your taxonomy template, called taxonomy-hardware_category.php:

// prepare the variables for the query
$tax = get_query_var('taxonomy');
$term = get_query_var('term');

// Setup the loop, build the html, return it, clean up the query
    $hardware_args = array(
        'post_type' => 'hardware',
         // This should get you the result
         // the two arrays isn't a mistake
         'tax_query' => array(
                        array(
                            'taxonomy' => $tax,
                            'field' => 'slug',
                            'terms' => $term
                        )
                    ),
                    'posts_per_page' => '30',
                    'orderby' => 'name',
                    'order'=>'ASC'
                );
        $loop = new WP_Query($hardware_args );
        $html = '';
        while ($loop->have_posts()) : $loop->the_post();

        $html .= '<div class="some-custom-class-like col-md-12">';
            $html .= '<div class="hardware">';
                $html .= '<a href="'.get_the_permalink().'" class="permalink" title="'.get_the_title().'">';
                $html .= '<div class="thumbnail-wrap>';
                    if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
                        $html .= '<img src="'.get_the_post_thumbnail_url().'" class="img-fluid" alt="'.get_the_title().'&nbsp;'.__('Hardware preview', 'textdomain').'">';
                                }
                            $html .= '</div>';
                        $html .= '</a>';
                        $html .= '<a href="'.get_the_permalink().'" class="title-permalink btn btn-outline-primary" title="'.get_the_title().'"><span class="the-title">'.get_the_title().'</span></a>';
                        $html .= '<div class="hardware-metadata">';
                        // Some more metadata can be put here for example
                        $html .= '</div>';
                    $html .= '</div>';
                $html .= '</div>';

                endwhile;
                // Echo it all out
                echo $html;
                wp_reset_postdata();
            ?>
