How to Create Terms Query and Display Related Tags on the Public User Page

Learn how to build Terms Query with JetEngine Query Builder and display the related tags on the WordPress public user page.

Before you start, check the tutorial requirements:

  • Elementor (Free version) or Block editor (Gutenberg)

  • JetEngine plugin installed and activated with the with the Profile Builder module enabled and Taxonomy created.

  • JetThemeCore plugin installed and activated with a User Profile Page built.

By following this tutorial, you can display the terms attached to the user. As an example, we will show the skills and their level attached to the specific user.

As the starting point, we will check the result to understand what we will get. At the end of this tutorial, you will know how to display the info about the user with their skills picked on the WordPress Dashboard.

Let’s now move on to the steps you should take.

Build a Listing

Firstly, proceed to the WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > Listings. Press the “Add New” button to build a new listing.

In the pop-up, select the “Terms” option as the Listing source, and find the needed item in the From Taxonomy list. 

Also, mind completing the Listing item name and selecting Listing view. We will check both Elementor and Block Editor.

Now you can push the “Create Listing Item” button.

Adjust Listing in Elementor

Add desired widgets to display dynamic data about the taxonomy terms. For instance, we add a Dynamic Image to show the picture attached to the term and two Dynamic Fields.

Look at the first Dynamic Field; it shows the term name. To get the same, pick the “Post/Term/User/Object” Source and “Term Name” Object Field.

We show the skill level (relation meta field data) as well. Don’t forget that here we select “Relation Meta Data” Source and “Skill Level” Meta Field.

Optionally, you can style up the listing. For example, we will add a border to the section to show the colors we have picked for each term in the Colorpicker meta field.

Select Section, head to the Style section, and open the Border tab. Pick the needed Border Type and move to the Color field. 

Click the Dynamic Tags button and choose the “Term Field” macro. Then define the needed Taxonomy, and pick the “Meta field” option. Specify the Meta Field; now, we type in the “colorpicker” value that stands for the colorpicker meta field name attached to the taxonomy.

Press the “Publish/Update” button once you are ready to publish.
