Custom Taxonomies and parents
How can I create a group of custom taxonomies with parents that would include a description for the parent and child taxonomy?
Here's what I have so far. The parent and child are created with the descriptions but the child taxonomy is not listed under the parent.
$categories = array(
'Category 01'=>'<a href=
http://category01.com target="_blank">Category 01</a>',
);
foreach($categories as $category => $cat_desc){
wp_insert_term(
$category, // the term
'style', // the taxonomy
array(
'description'=> $cat_desc,
'slug' => $category ,
)
);
};
// List out all Categories with subcategories
$styles = array(
'Category 01' => array(
'Subcategory 1A' => 'Subcategory 1A Description<br><a href=
http://www.category01/subcategory.php#1a target="_blank">Subcategory 1A Description</a>',
'Subcategory 1B' => 'Subcategory 1B Description<br><a href=
http://www.category01/subcategory.php#1a target="_blank">Subcategory 1B Description</a>',
'Subcategory 1C' => 'Subcategory 1C Description<br><a href=
http://www.category01/subcategory.php#1a target="_blank">Subcategory 1C Description</a>',
'Subcategory 1D' => 'Subcategory 1D Description<br><a href=
http://www.category01/subcategory.php#1a target="_blank">Subcategory 1D Description</a>',
'Subcategory 1E' => 'Subcategory 1E Description<br><a href=
http://www.category01/subcategory.php#1a target="_blank">Subcategory 1E Description</a>',
)
);
// Import each array as taxonomy with parent
foreach($styles as $bjcp_category => $bjcp_styles ){
$parent_term = term_exists( $bjcp_category , 'style' ); // array is returned if taxonomy is given
$parent_term_id = $parent_term['term_id']; // get numeric term id
foreach($bjcp_styles as $bjcp_style => $bjcp_style_desc){
wp_insert_term(
$bjcp_style, // the term
'style', // the taxonomy
array(
'description'=> $bjcp_style_desc,
'slug' => $bjcp_style,
'parent'=> $parent_term_id
)
);
}
I have a feeling that I'm creating the arrays in a less than efficient method. What would be the best way to accomplish this as I have over 100 custom taxonomies to import into my CPT and would like to have it done in one plugin.
My question is, how would I structure an array to include the parent and child taxonomies with descriptions for each?
