Hi!
I want to show only one taxonomy term in the breadcrumb of a page, for example:
If the transplant type is “Pediatric Allogeneic”, the below code will show it:
`<?php global $post;
$fact_post_id = $post->ID;
$fact_taxonomy = ‘transplant-types’;
the_terms( $fact_post_id, $fact_taxonomy, ‘Showing Results For: ‘, ‘ / ‘ );
echo ‘</div>’;
?>`

But it also shows each term in the taxonomy. I’m hoping there is a quick way to only show “Pediatric Allogeneic” in the breadcrumb list. I’m using WCK to create the custom taxonomy. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

– Are you using a plugin for breadcrumb? Yes? Which plugin? Where did you download it from?
– Is this a feature of your active theme? Yes? What’s the name of this theme? Where did you download it from?

Hello – I got the code from this tutorial:
https://rudrastyh.com/wordpress/terms-in-breadcrumbs.html

I am using my own theme.

I’m not familiar with that code, sorry.

I recommend asking at where you got that code so you can get support from the people who know it best.

So I shouldn’t ask for help with WordPress code on a WordPress forum? I want to learn, and the code above is not particularly unique, I’m just declaring 2 variables and calling a default wordpress function. I feel like I’m missing something to filter the results, but the codex doesn’t include information on that.

Best is to ask the place you got that code from 🙂

Hello katzw,

If you select only one taxonomy term for that particular page or post I think this will be works:
```
<?php 
global $post;
$fact_post_id = $post->ID;
$fact_taxonomy = "transplant-types";
$Cat = wp_get_post_terms( $fact_post_id, $fact_taxonomy, array("fields" => "names"));
echo "Showing Results For: ".$Cat[0];
?>
```
Thanks,

Hi Rishishah,
Thank you so much for sending this in, however it pulls the first item in the taxonomy, not the term that was clicked. I’ll keep trying!

So I figured it out – I knew it had to be simple:

<?php
$term = get_term_by( ‘slug’, get_query_var( ‘term’ ), get_query_var( ‘taxonomy’ ) ); ?>
<p>You are viewing the following Clinical Type: <?php echo $term->name; ?></p>

So the above gets the taxonomy and the term that was clicked in order to display it. Super simple, I just didn’t know what function to use, and maybe this helps somebody else!
