How do I create a hierarchy in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:15 am

Creating a hierarchy in WordPress can be a little tricky, but it can be done. Here are a few tips:

1. Use the wp_list_pages() function.

This function will return a list of all the pages in your WordPress site, ranked by their ID. Use this list to create a hierarchical list of pages.

2. Use the wp_list_pages() function to create a hierarchical list of posts. Use the post_type parameter to specify the type of post you are listing (e.g.

post, page, category, etc.).

3. Use the taxonomy_name parameter to specify the name of a taxonomy (e.

g. “category”).

4. Use the orderby parameter to specify the order in which you want the posts to appear.

5. Use the filter_by_post_type() function to restrict the list of posts to those of a certain type.

6. Use the include_pages() function to include pages in the list of posts.

7. Use the exclude_pages() function to exclude pages from the list of posts.

8. Use the orderby_menu_order() function to order the posts by the menu order.

9. Use the limit_menu_items() function to limit the number of posts displayed on the menu page.

10. Use the get_the_terms_list() function to get a list of all the terms associated with a post or category.

Use this list to create a hierarchical list of terms.

PRO TIP: When creating a hierarchy in WordPress, be careful not to create too many levels. Too many levels can make it difficult for users to find the content they’re looking for.
