A bugfix for custom post type / taxonomy issues

Hi guys,

This bug applies to the current (1.4) and previous (1.3) versions.

I’m using custom post types and taxonomies, and have sidebars that should only appear on individual posts with a particular custom category of a custom post type. (In other words, in the Conditions tab, I select “Taxonomy Terms”, then click the “[Custompost] Categories” link (where “Custompost” is a custom post type), then tick the checkbox of the required custom category.

This works in some cases but doesn’t in others. Here’s a bugfix to classes/class-woo-conditions.php (v 1.4.1) to make it function properly, starting from line 383:

// In Category conditions.
/* CHANGED FOR BUGFIX
      $categories = get_the_category( get_the_ID() );

      if ( is_array( $categories ) && ! is_wp_error( $categories ) && ( 0 < count( $categories ) ) ) {
        foreach ( $categories as $k => $v ) {
          $this->conditions[] = 'in-term-' . $v->term_id;
        }
      }
*/
      $categories = get_the_category( get_the_ID() );
      if ( ! is_wp_error( $categories ) && ( count( $categories ) > 0 ) ) {
        foreach ( $categories as $k => $v ) {
          $this->conditions[] = 'in-term-' . $v->term_id;
        }
      }
      if (is_admin()) {
        //$categories = get_the_category( get_the_ID() );
        if ( ! is_wp_error( $categories ) && ( count( $categories ) > 0 ) ) {
          foreach ( $categories as $k => $v ) {
            $this->conditions[] = 'in-term-' . $v->term_id;
          }
        }
      }
      else {
        $terms = wp_get_post_terms(get_the_ID(), get_post_type().'_category' );
        if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) && ( count( $terms ) > 0 ) ) {
          // Use custom taxonomy terms
          foreach ( $terms as $k => $v ) {
            $this->conditions[] = 'term-' . $v->term_id;
          }
        }
        else {
          // Use category
          $categories = get_the_category( get_the_ID() );
          if ( ! is_wp_error( $categories ) && ( count( $categories ) > 0 ) ) {
            foreach ( $categories as $k => $v ) {
              $this->conditions[] = 'in-term-' . $v->term_id;
            }
          }
        }
      }
// END CHANGED FOR BUGFIX

Hope this can help somebody having similar issues, and hope it can be integrated into future releases so I don’t have to keep patching them 😉

Cheers,
