How can I get the term name outside of the loop?
This gets it as a link:
<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'people', 'People: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
This without the link:
$terms_as_text = strip_tags( get_the_term_list( $wp_query->post->ID, 'people', '', ', ', '' ) );
echo $terms_as_text;But not outside loop :(
Here's some discussion
Thanks for the help :)
Are you asking to get the terms for a particular post or just a list of terms?
If you want terms for a given post, just replace $post->ID or $wp_query->post->ID with the post ID of the post you desire.

I'm in a category view and I'd like to do stuff like:
<?php is concerts ?>
"Your viewing posts from: <?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'concerts', '', ', ', '' ); ?> taxonomy"
<?php is Exhibitions ?>
"Your viewing posts from : <?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'exhibitions', '', ', ', '' ); ?> taxonomy"
<?php start the loop ?>
Posts
<?php end loop ?>And I can't get the term outside of the loop.
Thanks!

Awwww, I can't figure it out...
Ideally I'd love it to work like single_cat_title
Displays or returns the term name for the current page.
Thanks so far :)
<?php
$taxonomy = 'concerts';
$queried_term = get_query_var($taxonomy);
$terms = get_terms($taxonomy, 'slug='.$queried_term);
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<p> This is the Term name ' . $term->name . 'and description '. $term->description . '</p> ';
}
}
?>

This is exactly what I have been looking for, but I need one more bit of information.
For the code: $taxonomy = 'concerts';
What do I replace 'concerts' with if I am using this for my taxonomy.php page so that it pulls the custom taxonomy name from the page itself? Thanks!
pulls the custom taxonomy name from the page itself
echo get_query_var('taxonomy');

Thanks everyone for your help. I modified this slightly so I could output a list of my taxonomies along with the corresponding slug that was created in the admin panel.
<?php
$taxonomy = 'event_type';
$queried_term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var($taxonomy) );
$terms = get_terms($taxonomy);
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<li><a href="' . $term->slug . '">' . $term->name .'</a></li>';
}
}
?>In my case, my custom taxonomy is 'event_type.' This code outputs a list of links of the the event types I created, with the anchor set as the slug defined in the admin panel. All you need to do to modify this is replace 'event-type' with the name of your custom taxonomy.

Patrick, thanks for posting the code.
Its not quite working for me. It is returning the terms, but the links are not working.
i get this errror:
Warning: Missing argument 3 for get_term_by(), called in C:\wamp\www\M\wp-content\themes\jquerymobile\T-new-home.php on line 9 and defined in C:\wamp\www\M\wp-includes\taxonomy.php on line 874

Use MichaelH's code. The first three arguments of get_term_by are required values. And in Patrick's code he only supplies 2.
If you need to have links alter MichaelH's code like so:
$taxonomy = 'concerts';
$queried_term = get_query_var($taxonomy);
$terms = get_terms($taxonomy, 'slug='.$queried_term);
if ($terms) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<li><a href="'.get_term_link($term->slug, $taxonomy).'">'.$term->name.'</a></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}

This is brilliant, thank you. I had most of it, I was just missing one thing :)
Out of curiosity, does anyone know how you would get this to output only the slug for the current page's taxonomy?
