Wordpress : How Do I get taxonomy name in taxonomy.php?

Question

I am able to display the term of the taxonomy in the taxonomy page, but how do I get the taxonomy , or display the taxonomy on the page.

for example, when I have a taxonomy called "fruit" and I click on a fruit term called "lemons", How do I display both "lemons" and "fruit" on the taxonomy term page?

Just looking for the get term equivalent. Thx!

Solution 1

A possible solution:

$taxonomy = get_queried_object();
echo  $taxonomy->name;

Solution 2

For my taste is overly complicated, but here it goes:

$term = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
echo $term->name;

Solution 3

get_query_var('taxonomy');

Just this should work.

Solution 4

If you check $wp_query->get_queried_object() on a taxonomy page, this will contain the term object, which has a reference to the taxonomy identifier (in my example it's replymc_people). Pass this to get_taxonomy, and you get the full taxonomy object.

object(stdClass)[325]
  public 'term_id' => string '113' (length=3)
  public 'name' => string 'Jef Staes' (length=9)
  public 'slug' => string 'jef-staes' (length=9)
  public 'term_group' => string '0' (length=1)
  public 'term_taxonomy_id' => string '107' (length=3)
  public 'taxonomy' => string 'replymc_people' (length=14)
  public 'description' => string '' (length=0)
  public 'parent' => string '0' (length=1)
  public 'count' => string '3' (length=1)

Solution 5

I know this is answered, but for those who might wind up on this page when searching...

global $taxonomy,$term;

$taxonomy will now contain your taxonomy name ('fruit' from the OP's example) and your taxonomy term name ('lemon' from OP's example).

Just to help anyone else looking, yes this does give 'lemons' (using the OP's example), but to get 'fruit' you can use $wp_query->query_vars['taxonomy']

Downvoting as $taxonomy = get_queried_object(); already returns the $term you're looking for, no need to execute that extra query by ID. Thanks though.
