Add title attibute to categories - wordpress

In single.php I use <?php the_category(', '); ?>. This function lists categories attached to post, but title attribute (on hover) is missing. How can I add this? I've tried with adding a filter in functions.php and making a new function like <?php the_better_category('%cat% - my text'); ?>, but the result is miserable.

From the WordPress Codex:
<?php single_cat_title( '', true ); ?>
The first part (in single quotes) will output whatever custom text you put there before the category title and true means it will display (false is use in PHP).
Have you tried:
<?php
$categories = get_the_category();
$separator = ' ';
$output = '';
if($categories){
foreach($categories as $category) {
$output .= ''.$category->cat_name.''.$separator;
}
echo trim($output, $separator);
}
?>

Can't use custom tax query on archive-product.php in Woocommerce

I am using a custom archive-product.php file in my WooCommerce theme. I haven't changed much about the file, just added a few HTML elements for sidebars and such, but the main componants remain untouched.
In my template, I'm trying to get a list of categories with this code, in a sidebar (outside the loop):
$prodCats = get_categories(array('taxonomy'=>'product_cat','exclude'=>'26,482,474','parent'=>0));
if (!empty($prodCats)) {
//echo '<center><strong>Jump to Category</strong></center>';
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($prodCats as $cat) {
// get the thumbnail id using the queried category term_id
$thumbnail_id = get_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
// get the image URL
$image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
echo '<li>';
echo '';
echo '<div class="catName">'.$cat->name.'</div>';
echo '<img src="'.$image.'"/>';
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
But, this outputs only the product categories that are part of the current WooCommerce loop. It will not get all the product categories. It seems to somehow be tied to the WC loop on that page instead of operating independantly.
Is this intended behavior on a custom post type archive or specifically on WooCommerce?
If not, what might I look for to solve this?
This code, which does a similar thing on a woocommerce Product Attribute (pa_brand) is also affected. Note that I'm using new WP_Term_Query here to see if that solves it, but it still only pulls the terms that are in the current WC loop.
//Get brand list and display it
function ppp_get_brand_list() {
?>
<div id="brandList">
<center><h4>Brands</h4></center>
<?php
$brandArgs = array(
'taxonomy' => 'pa_brand',
'hide_empty' => true,
);
$brands = new WP_Term_Query( $brandArgs );
echo '<ul>';
foreach ( $brands->terms as $brand ) {
$brand_image_id = get_term_meta( $brand->term_id, 'product_search_image_id', true );
$brand_image = wp_get_attachment_url( $brand_image_id );
$brand_link = get_term_link($brand->term_id,'pa_brand');
echo '<li><img src="'.$brand_image.'" alt="" /></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
</div>
<?php
}

Reversing sort order of ingested RSS feed in PHP

I have a site where I am 'pulling' local events from a secondary website RSS feed. I have this working however the feed is displaying in reverse order with the local events dated later (i.e. at the end of October versus events dated for today) showing up at the top instead of the bottom.
Here is the code I am using for the feed ingest:
<?php if(function_exists('fetch_feed')) {
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php'); // include the required file
$feed = fetch_feed('http://sample.com.au/events/feed/'); // specify the source feed
$limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(25); // specify number of items
$semti = array_flip($limit);
$items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit); // create an array of items
}
if ($limit == 0) echo '<div>The feed is unavailable.</div>';
else foreach ($items as $item) : ?>
<p><b><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>" target="_blank">
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?></a></b>
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_date('| j F | g:i a') ); ?><br>
<?php echo sanitize_text_field( $item->get_content() ); ?>
</p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
This works perfectly to get my remote RSS feed and display the title, date of the event and the excerpt, however the order is reverse sorted.
I tried adding filters like "sort and ksort" in the "foreach ($items $items) :" area but this did not work for me. I've racked my brains on this one and am hoping someone can help me out. I appreciate any guidance/help in advance.
Try the appropriately named array_reverse function!
<?php if(function_exists('fetch_feed')) {
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php'); // include the required file
$feed = fetch_feed('http://sample.com.au/events/feed/'); // specify the source feed
$limit = $feed->get_item_quantity(25); // specify number of items
$items = $feed->get_items(0, $limit); // create an array of items
$semti = array_reverse($items); // & flip it
}
if ($limit == 0) echo '<div>The feed is unavailable.</div>';
else foreach ($semti as $item) : ?>
<p><b><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>" target="_blank">
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?></a></b>
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_date('| j F | g:i a') ); ?><br>
<?php echo sanitize_text_field( $item->get_content() ); ?>
</p>
<?php endforeach; ?>
From PHP.net:
array_reverse
Return an array with elements in reverse order
array array_reverse ( array $array [, bool $preserve_keys = false ] )
Takes an input array and returns a new array with the order of the elements reversed.

Woocommerce with wordpress - how can I display category image?

Have got this working on general wordpress categories using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/categories-images/
Then adding the following to the category.php template as advised on another thread.
<?php if (function_exists('z_taxonomy_image_url')) { ?>
<img src="<?php echo z_taxonomy_image_url(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
I'd like to do exactly the same with the product categories. Actually ideally I'd like to be able to add background images to each category so that the description text can go over the top, like the way this shop works:
http://www.natures-own.co.uk/Antioxidants/
Is this possible with some minor code tweaking, or better still is there a woocommerce equivalent to the wordpress plugin I've used?
I cannot find any resources for this anywhere, everything I find on searching is referring to just thumbnail of a category list as far as I can see!
Thanks in advance
Pat
You can add the category image and description by adding the following to the archive-product.php file after <?php if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_show_page_title', true ) ) : ?> that if statement:
if (is_product_category())
{
global $wp_query;
$cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta( $cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );
// get the image URL
$image = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumbnail_id );
//if you only want the image, uncomment the two lines below
//list($width, $height) = getimagesize($image);
//echo '<img src="'.$image.'" alt="" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'"/>';
$cat_id=$cat->term_id;
$prod_term=get_term($cat_id,'product_cat');
$description=$prod_term->description;
echo '<div class="category-description" style="background-image:url('.$image.');">'.$description.'</div>';
}
To display Woocommerce Category image
use this code -
add_action('woocommerce_archive_description', 'woocommerce_add_category_image', 20);
function woocommerce_add_category_image()
{
global $product;
if (is_product_category())
{
global $wp_query;
$cat = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$thumbnail_id = get_woocommerce_term_meta($cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true);
$image = wp_get_attachment_url($thumbnail_id);
if ($image)
{
echo '<img src="' . esc_url($image) . '" alt="" />';
}
}
}

wordpress theme excerpt function elimination-thao studios theme

I want to remove the excerpt function or render it functionless as i want all posts to be viewed in full of its content. I think the theme has some tracking to make sure the excerption is in that line, so it must exist.
function excerpt($limit) {
$excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
array_pop($excerpt);
$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
} else {
$excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);
}
$excerpt = preg_replace('`\[[^\]]*\]`','',$excerpt);
return $excerpt;
}
function content($limit) {
$content = explode(' ', get_the_content(), $limit);
if (count($content)>=$limit) {
array_pop($content);
$content = implode(" ",$content).'...';
} else {
$content = implode(" ",$content);
}
$content = preg_replace('/\[.+\]/','', $content);
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
return $content;
}
I only have these 2 lines of codes which i know is related.
I dont know where the $limit come from, i tried to find on all theme related php,no findings.
Please help me. Thank you very muc.
Just find your template file (could be index.php) where you want to display the full content instead of excerpted content and replace the function the_excerpt() with the_content() inside the loop, i.e.
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- do other stuff ... -->
the_content();
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
About the_content() and the loop.

Display Link to Category in Wordpress?

I am trying to figure out how to display the category of an article, and a link to the category. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you want to do this on post page you can add something like the following to your single.php file of your theme.
<div class="meta">Posted in: <span><?php the_category(', ') ?> </span></div>
Here's some info that will be of use:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
Basically you can call: <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?> and this will output what you're looking for.
Thr $args parameter is an array of settings strings that lets you change the order, style, depth etc, on links returned.
Note that: <?php the_category(', ') ?>will display the category as a link. which is good.... but if you want only the category URL (that is, the category link only), then you will have to use the <?php get_category_link($category_ID); ?> the $category_ID is required. once you fix that in, the category URL will be returned.
Consider the example:
<?php
// Get the ID of a given category
$category_id = get_cat_ID( 'Category Name' );
// Get the URL of this category
$category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
?>
<!-- Print a link to this category -->
Category Name
Now you can see how we got the category ID and then using it to get the category Link. Hope this answers your question well enough?
You can use get_the_category()
<?php
$categories = get_the_category();
$separator = ' ';
$output = '';
if($categories){
foreach($categories as $category) {
$output .= ''.$category->cat_name.''.$separator;
}
echo trim($output, $separator);
}
?>
