A user asked:
I have a loop with some elements shown in a card.
Some items have the taxonomy “Bestseller”.
In the card I have a text with “Bestseller” that should be shown if taxonomy = “Bestseller”.
How can I do that ?
We can use the core WordPress has_term() function for checking if the current post has a specific term of a given taxonomy.
In this example, we shall work with a Bricks query loop in which the query type is set to Projects custom post type. This CPT has a corresponding Project Type taxonomy whose sample terms are Construction, Parks and Libraries.
Structure:
Now the objective is to display the last heading element only for the project items that are of Construction type.
For this we apply a Dynamic data condition on the Heading element like this:
{echo:has_term(construction,project-type)}
We are passing the term slug (name or ID can also be given) as the first argument for the has_term() function. The second argument is the taxonomy name.
Note: There should NOT be a comma between the two arguments.

You say there should NOT be a comma between the two arguments, but your example does have a comma between them? Please clarify this.

Hi, what if I wanna target all the taxonomies in "project-type" instead of just "construction". Would it be = 1 or > 0?

Thank you Sridhar, this works well

Hello Sridhar, we could also use these dynamic data tags in the condition:
Bricks, Free Dynamic Data {post_terms_your_taxonomy_slug:plain}
Then set the operator to “contains” and specify the taxonomy term.
Does it make sense? Thanks, as always, for your time and support!
(As a side note, BrickExtras users should now find a Post Category condition that makes this even more convenient.)

I’m not sure what happened, but it seems my comment included "Bricks, Free Dynamic Data" by mistake, as I didn’t write that part. 😅 I'll try again to write the dynamic data tags: Bricks, Free Dynamic Data {post_terms_your_taxonomy_slug:plain}

Ok, I see, Bricks actually rendered the dynamic data tags in the comments! Here they are again (without curly braces to avoid rendering):
post_terms_category:plain post_terms_post_tag:plain post_terms_your_taxonomy_slug:plain
