    I’m running a movie related site. I use taxonomies to categorize movies into Actors, Directors, Year, Genre etc..

    For years, I use exact year like 2009, 2010.. But now I also want to add year spans by adding taxonomies like 2000’s, 1990’s etc..

    Is there an easy way to do add for every 2001, 2002, ….. , 2009 years an extra taxonomy of 2000’s ?

    Maybe can be done via sql ?
    Can anyone help me ?

    I hope my question is clear.. Thanks

    What do you use to show the taxonomies? wp_list_categories()?

    I’m using <?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'tur', '', ', ', '' ); ?>

    not using categories, I use taxonomies..

    Put this inside the loop:

    <?php
  // Get terms for post
  $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'tur' );
  if (!empty($terms)){
  $html='';
  // Loop over each item
    foreach( $terms as $term ) {
      $html .= '<a href="' . get_tag_link($term->term_id) . '" rel="tag">' . $term->name . "'s" .'</a>';
    }
  echo $html;
  }
?>

    hi keesiemeijer, thanks for response,
    but don’t we have to run sql query ?

    my purpose is to add an “extra” taxonomy to default ones..

    lets say

    Movie Title: Gladiator
    Year: 2000

    Movie Title: Avatar
    Year: 2009

    my purpose is to add one more taxonomy as 2000’s to all posts belong to 2000-2009, so

    Movie Title: Gladiator
    Year: 2000, 2000’s

    Movie Title: Avatar
    Year: 2009, 2000’s

    but there are hunders of titles to add taxonomies.. so I’m looking for an easy way if possible..

    thanks

    Maybe I don’t understand, but can’t you then just give your posts an extra custom “tur” taxonemy tag “2000’s”.

    for new entries yes, I can easily add..
    but I already had posted over 600 entries.. that is why I’m looking for an easy way to batch add taxonomies..

    thanks for taking your time, much appreciated.

    Ah yes, then you need to run a sql query or customize the functions that the wordpress core uses to insert tags in the database. That is a bit over my head. sorry
