Languages: English • Italiano • taxonomy 日本語 (Add your language)
Get the object containing a taxonomy's settings (metadata).
Note that it does NOT return the list of terms associated with the taxonomy. To do this, you should use get_term() to return an object or wp_list_categories() to return an HTML list of terms.
<?php get_taxonomy( $taxonomy ) ?>
Returns false if the taxonomy does not exist.
For example for a custom taxonomy named "features" associated with a custom post type named "rentals".
$rental_features = get_taxonomy( 'features' );
print_r( $rental_features );
