Term Dynamic Content

In this article we're going to explain how to use Term Dynamic Content.

  1. Name
  2. Slug
  3. Description
  4. URL
  5. Count
  6. Meta

Dynamic Content offers a great way to grab various data from the currently viewed term or a specific Term. Terms are a great way to categorize and associate your posts to various data points. Each Term data point has a configurable argument for which Term you are trying to grab the data.

Current Term will be the Term you are either looping over or the Term archive's current Term. Specific Term will allow you to grab a specific Term based on ID.

Term Name Dynamic Content

Name

This is the display name of a Term.

Slug

This is similar to the name, but is what WordPress uses to associate in the URL. It is also how Term data can sometimes be grabbed from your database.

Description

This is the description setup to describe the Term (similar to post content).

URL

This is like the slug, but it also will add your domain and extra path info needed to send a user to the Term's archive.

Count

This will give you a number for all Posts that are utilizing this Term.

Meta

Similar to Post Meta, Term Meta is any extra data associated to the Term. 3rd party plugins can utlize this giving your site added functionality.
