This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to display different content in a Taxonomy WordPress Archive depending on the level of hierarchy of the current archive term.
Solution: Use custom code to determine the current taxonomy level, and test that level with a conditional.
function ts_get_current_archive_term_level(){
$current_taxonomy = isset(get_queried_object()->taxonomy) ? get_queried_object()->taxonomy : null;
$current_term_id = isset(get_queried_object()->taxonomy) ? get_queried_object()->term_id : 0;
$ancestors = get_ancestors($current_term_id, $current_taxonomy);
return count($ancestors)+1;
}
Then go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end content and add ts_get_current_archive_term_level in Functions inside conditional evaluations. Then you can call the function in your WordPress Archive like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '1' )"] level 1 [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '2' )"] level 2 [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '3' )"] level 3 [/wpv-conditional]

Hi, you can use a custom PHP function that returns the number of term ancestors in a conditional clause. First, add this code to your child theme's functions.php file or to a new snippet in Toolset > Settings > Custom code:
function ts_get_current_archive_term_level(){
$current_taxonomy = isset(get_queried_object()->taxonomy) ? get_queried_object()->taxonomy : null;
$current_term_id = isset(get_queried_object()->taxonomy) ? get_queried_object()->term_id : 0;
$ancestors = get_ancestors($current_term_id, $current_taxonomy);
return count($ancestors)+1;
}
Then go to Toolset > Settings > Front-end content and add ts_get_current_archive_term_level in Functions inside conditional evaluations. This will enable the function in conditionals.
Next create your conditional code in the WordPress Archive editor by clicking "conditional output" above the editor panel. Select the source "Custom functions" and choose the ts_get_current_archive_term_level function (example in screenshot shows "get_tax_level" but yours will be "ts_get_current_archive_term_level"). The value should be 1 in this first example. Then insert some test text just after the wpv-conditional shortcode, and then click "/conditional output" to close the conditional shortcode. You'll have something like this:
[wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '1' )"] level 1 [/wpv-conditional]
Test it out on a 1st level (no parents) term archive. You should see "level 1" written out to the page. Then test it on a 2nd level (one parent) term archive. You should not see "level 1" written out. If that's working as expected, you can copy + paste the conditional multiple times and change the numbers to display different information for different level terms:
[wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '1' )"] level 1 [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '2' )"] level 2 [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( ts_get_current_archive_term_level() eq '3' )"] level 3 [/wpv-conditional]
Okay check here now:

I'm attaching a screenshot here that describes why this wasn't working. There are no posts associated with any of these terms. You have put the conditional in a part of the archive that is only rendered when the archive includes results: the wpv-items-found shortcode. I copied the conditional into the wpv-no-items-found shortcode, and it's displaying now on the front-end. Can you take a look?
