wp get taxonomy categories code example

Example 1: wordpress get terms by taxonomy

You need to pass an additional argument to get_terms(). The default is to hide
"empty" terms-- terms which are assigned to no posts.

$terms = get_terms([
    'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
    'hide_empty' => false,
]);

Example 2: wordpress get current taxonomy

$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
echo $term->name; // will show the name
echo $term->slug; // will show the slug
