Wordpress : How Do I get taxonomy name in taxonomy.php?

Question

I am able to display the term of the taxonomy in the taxonomy page, but how do I get the taxonomy , or display the taxonomy on the page.

for example, when I have a taxonomy called "fruit" and I click on a fruit term called "lemons", How do I display both "lemons" and "fruit" on the taxonomy term page?

Just looking for the get term equivalent. Thx!

Answer 1

If you check $wp_query->get_queried_object() on a taxonomy page, this will contain the term object, which has a reference to the taxonomy identifier (in my example it's replymc_people). Pass this to get_taxonomy, and you get the full taxonomy object.

object(stdClass)[325]
  public 'term_id' => string '113' (length=3)
  public 'name' => string 'Jef Staes' (length=9)
  public 'slug' => string 'jef-staes' (length=9)
  public 'term_group' => string '0' (length=1)
  public 'term_taxonomy_id' => string '107' (length=3)
  public 'taxonomy' => string 'replymc_people' (length=14)
  public 'description' => string '' (length=0)
  public 'parent' => string '0' (length=1)
  public 'count' => string '3' (length=1)

Answer 2

get_query_var('taxonomy');

Just this
