How to filter data using taxonomy terms?

[athossin]

During creating team latest result filter, I have the following codes but it does not work. It shows the corrcet url: As for example: If I want to filter the data of 2016-17 season then it shows following url:

http://localhost/wordpress/football_team/barcelona/?season_slugs=2016-17

I watched your youtube video on custom filter where you used meta query and key, but I need filter the data using custom taxonomy ; session, . When I echo out the following codes then it show 2016-17, so its working.But the data is not filtering.

if($_GET['season_slugs'] && !empty($_GET['season_slugs']))
{
   $season_slugs=$_GET['season_slugs'];
   echo $season_slugs;
 }

?>

Following is my code which shows the latest result of all seasons.

<?php 

if($_GET['season_slugs'] && !empty($_GET['season_slugs']))
{
   $season_slugs=$_GET['season_slugs'];
   echo $season_slugs;
 }

?>

<form action="<?php  the_permalink(); ?>" method="get">
  <select name="season_slugs">

    <?php 
     $args = array(
  'type'                     => 'football_team',

  'taxonomy'                 => 'session',
  'pad_counts'               => false );
$categories = get_categories($args);

foreach ($categories as $category) { ?>

Did you try doing just a simple tax_query, without all that other stuff? Just to see if it works?

![Uploading session.png…]() I can control it from admin site using tax query, But how can i control from front side?

What I'm asking is if you tried to do something like this:

$args = array(
  'post_type'  => 'football_fixture',
  'posts_per_page'=>30,
  'tax_query' => array(
          array(
          'taxonomy' => 'session',
          'terms' => $season_slugs,
          'field' => 'slug'
          ), 
        )
)

and then trying to display football_fixtures. Just to see if your tax query is working. So without all the other queries you have in your code.

[athossin]

yes, it is working. but not filtering

[ivandoric]

Did you try doing meta_query before the tax_query?

[ivandoric]

And also did you try doing only meta_query to see if it works. It looks pretty complex.
