Get Terms as Checkboxes

September 19, 2018

This makes working with filters so much easier. Many thanks to the original poster.

Functions.php:

function get_terms_checkboxes($taxonomies, $args) {
  $terms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);
  foreach($terms as $term){
    $output .= '<label for="'.$term->slug.'"><input type="checkbox" id="'.$term->slug.'" name="'.$term->taxonomy.'" value="'.$term->slug.'"> '.$term->name.'</label>';
  }
  return $output;
}

Place within template:

<?php echo get_terms_chekboxes('taxonomy', $args = array('hide_empty'=>true)); ?>
