are you just wanting to list the tags associated with that post?
Well, I guess it’s three things, really.
1. List all custom taxonomies as text on the custom post type archive page.
2. List a post’s associated custom taxonomy terms on a custom post single page.
3. Add a class of the custom taxonomy to the post div class, and add custom taxonomy text to links.
****
To elaborate, I want a list of custom categories at the top of the custom post archive page. But I want to customize their link text because I want to use this jQuery sorting plugin.
So ideally, the <a href>
for each listed category would be a hash tag (#) followed by the taxonomy term, like this:
<li><a href="#custom-taxonomy-name-one">Custom Taxonomy Name One</a></li>
<li><a href="#custom-taxonomy-name-two">Custom Taxonomy Name Two</a></li>
THEN, each post would have the taxonomy term as a class, like this:
<article class="custom-taxonomy-name-one">
<!--stuff-->
</article>
<article class="custom-taxonomy-name-two">
<!--stuff-->
</article>
Does this make sense?
I’m going to put this here because this is terribly documented, practically un-Googleable. I found a partial solution to adding the custom taxonomy tags to the post classes:
<?php add_filter( 'post_class', 'mysite_post_class', 10, 3 );
if( !function_exists( 'mysite_post_class' ) ) {
/**
* Append taxonomy terms to post class.
* @since 2010-07-10
*/
function mysite_post_class( $classes, $class, $ID ) {
$taxonomy = 'you_custom_taxonomy_term';
$terms = get_the_terms( (int) $ID, $taxonomy );
if( !empty( $terms ) ) {
foreach( (array) $terms as $order => $term ) {
if( !in_array( $term->slug, $classes ) ) {
$classes[] = $term->slug;
}
}
}
return $classes;
}
}?>
Just add it before the post tags after the loop starts.

I tried googling a solution as well, no luck im afraid. If you don’t find a solution here maybe try posting this question in the advanced section. http://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced.
How does one gain access to the wp-advanced forum? It says you have to be a moderator to post there.
I just had a read and they say to add the modlook tag to your post, hopefully they’ll come along and have a look, soryr I couldn’t help, good luck
Thanks a ton @mrangelmarino – your code worked perfectly for what I wanted to do!
I just pasted it into functions.php, added the name of my custom taxonomy and bingo, now when I use post_class() I get the tax terms too!
Cheers.
