WordPress动态更改帖子类别

Question

Good day, everyone! I wonder is there a way to create a single page for all categories and dynamically change category name in WP_query depending on a clicked navigation menu item or I have to create a separate page for every single category (there are 23 of them in my case)?

Menu:

<?php   
          $args = array(
            'menu' => 'category_nav',
            'container' => 'ul',
            'container_class' => 'accordion-content',
            'container_id' => '',
            'menu_class' => 'accordion-content',
            'menu_id' => '',
            'echo' => true,
            'fallback_cb' => false,
            'before' => '',
            'after' => '',
            'link_before' => '',
            'link_after' => '',
            'items_wrap' => '<ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>',
            'item_spacing' => 'preserve',
            'depth' => 0,
            'walker' => '',
            'theme_location' => ''
          );

          wp_nav_menu($args); ?>

Posts:

<?php
    $args = array(
        'nopaging' => true,
        'orderby' => 'name',
        'category_name' => 'HERE GOES A CATEGORY NAME',
    );

    $q = new WP_Query($args);
    if($q->have_posts()) {
        while($q->have_posts()){ $q->next_post();
            $post_id = $q->post->ID;
            $thumbnail = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id ( $post_id ), 'full' );
            $title = get_the_title($post_id);
            $date = get_the_date('d.m.Y', $post_id);
            $content = get_post_field('post_content', $post_id);
            $discount = get_post_field('discount', $post_id);
            $discount_exists = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'discount', true );
            $full_description = get_post_field('full_description', $post_id);
            $full_description_exists = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'full_description', true ); ?>
      <div class="gallery-item">
          <?php echo '<div class="item-img" style="background-image:url(\'' . $thumbnail[0] . '\')"></div>'; ?>
          <div class="item-content">
            <div class="item-header"> <?php echo $title; ?> </div>
            <div class="item-desc"> <?php echo $content; ?> </div>
          </div>
          <?php 
              if ( $full_description_exists ) {
                ?><div class="btn">More</div><?php
              } ?>
        </div>
    <?php
        }
    }

    wp_reset_postdata();
    ?>

Where should I get that cateory name/ID/slug and how can I use it in my code? Should I create just category.php file in template folder or I should use another file structure to cusomize categories output?

Answer 1

single.php IS for all categories. Every post can use this template (except if you create template like single-$template.php) and in code you can get categories from this post by using this https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_category/

Answer 2

You don't need to create every single page for category, you can create base file which could be used to display content dynamically. as you can see over the template hierarchy of wordpress here for categories which is default category attached with the default post Types.

Default Category with wordpress Post Types.

Rendering category archive index pages uses the following path in WordPress:

1. category-{slug}.php – If the category's slug is news, WordPress will look for category-news.php.
2. category-{id}.php – If the category's ID is 6, WordPress will look for category-6.php.
3. category.php
4. archive.php
5. index.php

Custom Taxonomy with Custom Post Types

Custom taxonomies use a slightly different template file path:

1. taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php – If the taxonomy is sometax, and taxonomy's term is someterm, WordPress will look for taxonomy-sometax-someterm.php. In the case of post formats, the taxonomy is 'post_format' and the terms are 'post-format-{format}. ie taxonomy-post_format-post-format-link.php for the link post format.
2. taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php – If the taxonomy were sometax, WordPress would look for taxonomy-sometax.php.
3. taxonomy.php
4. archive.php
5. index.php

In your case you can use category.php for dynamic category display unless your category is not custom taxonomy else you will need to use taxonomy.php as base template.

• Q) Where should I get that cateory name/ID/slug and how can I use it in my code?

You can use get_query_var(); function to achieve

get_query_var('cat'); > This will return current category id.

$category = get_category(get_query_var('cat')); 

And then you can get the category object by category id so you can get the cat id, name, slug etc
