Display Current Post Taxonomies and Terms in WordPress

In this tutorial, i am gong to show you how to display current post taxonomies and terms in a list. Please open your function.php file and paste the below code:

<?php 
// get taxonomies terms links
function custom_taxonomies_terms_links() {
    global $post, $post_id;
    // get post by post id
    $post = &get_post($post->ID);
    // get post type by post
    $post_type = $post->post_type;
    // get post type taxonomies
    $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post_type);
    $out = "<ul>";
    foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {        
        $out .= "<li>".$taxonomy.": ";
        // get the terms related to post
        $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
        if ( !empty( $terms ) ) {
            foreach ( $terms as $term )
                $out .= '<a href="' .get_term_link($term->slug, $taxonomy) .'">'.$term->name.'</a> ';
        }
        $out .= "</li>";
    }
    $out .= "</ul>";
    return $out;
} ?>

Now we will use the function to display this. Where you want to display the call the below function:

<?php echo custom_taxonomies_terms_links();?>

Demo output

The output might look like this if the current post has the taxonomies country and city:

<ul>
    <li>  country:  
          <a href="http://example.com/country/denmark/">Denmark</a> 
          <a href="http://example.com/country/russia/">Russia</a> 
    </li> 
    <li>   city:  
           <a href="http://example.com/city/copenhagen/">Copenhagen</a> 
           <a href="http://example.com/city/moscow/">Moscow</a> 
    </li> 
</ul>
