In your index.php, home.php, or a static page template (whatever you’re using for your homepage), in the template file you could just pull the post like this:

<?php
// Grab your post
$your_post = get_post( 'post_ID_you_want' );

// Display the title of the post
echo $your_post->post_title;

// Display the filtered content of the post
echo $your_post->post_content_filtered;

It is definitely possible to “paginate” the terms. It’s just not like it’s built into WordPress, exactly.

You can always pass variables through the URL and retrieve them as PHP variables as your page loads.

And since get_terms function has an “offset” argument you can pass in, this makes it possible to do this also…

So in theory you could do something like this… You’d pull the first say, 20 series. Then you could put a link like to this at the bottom:

http://yoursite.com/your_archive_page?my_page_var=2

Then at the top of your archive page (above all the code we talked about previously) you’d have it setup something like this:

<?php
if( isset( $_POST['my_page_var'] ) ){
      // ... now make the offset argument relative to
      // my_page_var if it exists
      $offset = ( $_POST['my_page_var'] - 1 ) * 20;
}

In the example above, since my_page_var was 2 passed through the URL, now the offset would be (2-1)*20 = 20, if it had been three, it would be (3-1)*20 = 40, etc.

Then, after your $args array, you’d do something like this:

// add offset argument to array if it was set earlier.
if( isset ( $offset ) )
   $args['offset'] = $offset;

So, every time the page loads it’s looking for the my_page_var passed from the URL, and will offset the call to get_terms accordingly. You can see it’s all quite possible, but just starts to get hacky and messy.

Ya, see the problem was you were trying to pass all of these arguments in the get_terms function that don’t exist for that function. For future reference, this is the outline of all arguments you could potentially use in grabbing your terms with that function:

(look under “Possible Arguments”)

The first argument you can actually pass in is the number of terms to return, and since they’re ordered by ID, you’d want to keep them that way but change the order to DESC (which I think you already figured out).

So, it would be something like this:

Ohhh, sorry I see now. Each one of those blocks with an image is one of the series, and you want to paginate those as if they were posts.

I think there’s kind of weird thing you got going on there because you’re essentially displaying taxonomy terms as if they’re posts (in the traditional sense of how we display posts anyway in a WP theme).

I don’t think there’s a way to actually paginate your series the way you have it. You could do it with javascript though pretty easily. When you use get_terms, and you’re then looping through them, you could separate them out with a div or somethign every 5 series or whatever… then have some sort of javascript slider, where you click a “next” link at the top or bottom and the whole thing slides to the next 5. Something like that maybe?

You have your site in maintenance mode. Can you take it off so I can see? Then, maybe I’ll have a better idea of what you’re trying to visually accomplish. I think there might be a better approach to what you’re trying to other than the concept of pagination, but I’m still not following 100%…. well there will have to a better way because I don’t think what you’re describing is pagination 🙂

From my understanding, the tax_query is an argument that you can feed in when filtering your posts, so I don’t believe it would make much sense to use it in an attempt to print out the terms for a taxonomy.

You could just do something like this using get_terms to show a list of all your taxonomy terms if at least one exists:

<?php
$terms = get_terms("my_taxonomy");
$count = count($terms);
if ( $count > 0 ){
	echo "<ul>";
	foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
	echo "<li>" . $term->name . "</li>";

	}
	echo "</ul>";
}

Here’s a nice little video run down on custom fields:

Awesome, I’m glad you were able to figure out how to make your first theme. That’s always really cool to see.
