How to assign tag to custom post type in wordpress?
Question
I’m pretty stuck on this wordpress challenge where I need to programmatically assign a taxonomy to a custom post type. How can I successfully assigned programmatically a tag to a custom post type? Im not too sure what I’m doing wrong here.
This is my tag:
wp> $tagOne = get_term_by('slug', 'dogs-cats','pets_tag');
=> object(WP_Term)#3015 (10) {
["term_id"]=>
int(20)
["name"]=>
string(20) "Dogs & Cats"
["slug"]=>
string(14) "dogs-cats"
["term_group"]=>
int(0)
["term_taxonomy_id"]=>
int(20)
["taxonomy"]=>
string(12) "pets_tag"
["description"]=>
string(0) ""
["parent"]=>
int(0)
["count"]=>
int(0)
["filter"]=>
string(3) "raw"
}
This is my array of tag term ids:
wp> $tagsIdArray = array($tagOne->term_id)
=> array(1) {
[0]=>
int(20)
}
This is my wordpress command to assign pet post 3356 to the above tag:
wp> wp_set_object_terms(3356, $tagsIdArray, 'pets_tag', false);
=> array(1) {
[0]=>
string(2) "20"
}
When I go to query the tags for the above post, I see that a new tag has been created and not an assignment of an existing tag to the above post:
wp> get_the_tags(3356)
=> array(1) {
[0]=>
object(WP_Term)#3011 (10) {
["term_id"]=>
int(25)
["name"]=>
string(14) "dogs-cats"
["slug"]=>
string(14) "dogs-cats"
["term_group"]=>
int(0)
["term_taxonomy_id"]=>
int(25)
["taxonomy"]=>
string(8) "post_tag"
["description"]=>
string(0) ""
["parent"]=>
int(0)
["count"]=>
int(0)
["filter"]=>
string(3) "raw"
}
}
