brandonchance on "[Plugin: Easy Digital Downloads] Download Tags/Category Filter"

What is the download equivalent of get_the_tags? I tried pulling the tags into my archive-download.php, but nothing shows up or the page just sticks on the pre-loader.

What I tried:

• get_tags
• get_the_tags
• get_download_tags
• get_the_download_tags

My tags code in case you need it:

<?php
  $tags = get_the_tags();
  $posttags = '<div class="post_tags"><i class="fa fa-folder-o"></i>';
  foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
    $tag_link = get_tag_link( $tag->term_id );

    $posttags .= "<a href='{$tag_link}' title='{$tag->name}' class='{$tag->slug}'>";
    $posttags .= "{$tag->name}</a>";
  }

  $posttags .= '</div>';
  echo $posttags;
?>

Hey there,

If you want to show your tags, have you considered using the tag url at http://yoursite.com/downloads/tags?

You can get those links in your WP dashboard under "Dashboard" > "Downloads" > "Tags" > "View".

To answer your initial question, you'll want to look at:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_terms

Tags are for WordPress "Posts". Easy Digital Downloads doesn't use "tag" but rather "download-tag".

Both tags and categories are known as "terms" in WordPress. To lea more about taxonomies and taxonomy-terms in WordPress take a look here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies

You can get those links in your WP dashboard under "Dashboard" > "Downloads" > "Tags" > "View".

I don't see "Downloads" while in my dashboard; I do see "1 Download" but following that link doesn't get me to the next 2. I tried the same with "EDD Products" but couldn't find the 2 links that should follow.

And I'm still trying to see if I can get everything working with the info in your second response! I've made a little progress with it!

If you don't see "Downloads" in the sidebar in your WordPress dashboard (yoursite.com/wp-admin), double check that you have the Easy Digital Downloads plugin active under "Dashboard" > "Plugins".

Yeah, it's active! But I have "EDD Products" instead of "Downloads".

Under "EDD Products" there's an "All Downloads" link, but that still doesn't get me to "Tags"

Ah! Have you modified it to say EDD Products yourself?

There should be a sub-menu item called tags. If there isn't, you'll have to re-install the Easy Digital Downloads plugin fresh to rule out something having been changed with the code to hide the tags sub-menu.

No I haven't modified it, but I'll try reinstalling it

Sorry but I should have stated earlier, I do have two extensions though! Maybe one of them are modifying it?
