[Resolved] tax term field in archive page

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to output the taxonomy term name or slug on a taxonomy archive page.

Solution:
Views doesn't have a shortcode for this (the context for the wpv-taxonomy- shortcodes are taxonomy Views and the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode used on an archive will output the terms of the first post shown in the archive, not of the archive itself).

You can register a custom shortcode to display the taxonomy name (or slug, or various other fields), as described here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/displaying-view-by-taxonomies-url-in-the-archieve-loop/#post-1121600

wow! . how did this work without even mentioning which tax term we are targeting for ?
is it because this is 'tag' archive page

ok this seems to be solved, pls if you have time look into this too : i need the tax-color-code raw value to be next to the category , pls look here at line 25

ps: if no trouble pls remove my branding R.I.S.E from the previous reply and rename it to XXXX /SITE . many thanks !

OK, I've split off the last question into a new thread, I think we are done with this particular issue. (Yes, btw, you don't need to specify the taxonomy or term because it is determined by the URL.)

I'll follow up there. (I edited the earlier reply to remove mention of your site name.)
