If you’ve created a WordPress taxonomy, with a different slug for the rewrite value than the name of the taxonomy, you may want to know how to access that slug without hard-coding it. (e.g. for a custom rewrite rule)

You have a custom taxonomy like this, where the taxonomy name is link-type and the rewrite slug is category:

$args = array(
  'hierarchical' => true,
  'labels' => $labels,
  'show_ui' => true,
  'query_var' => true,
  'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'category', 'with_front' => false ),
);
register_taxonomy( 'link-type', array( 'directory' ), $args );

Then, wherever you want to access the slug of the taxonomy, it’s in the WP global $wp_taxonomies:

global $wp_taxonomies;
echo $wp_taxonomies[ $taxonomy ]->rewrite[ 'slug' ]; // 'category'

Aeropress “Ritual” (spec)

This is a short tribute to my Aeropress. Two years ago, one was given to me, and it changed everything.

For a little more than $20, this marvel of science will produce arguably the best cup of coffee you’ve ever made in your home. It makes no sense.

Beautiful. And my feelings exactly.

ASOS Leather Brogues. Not the best quality, but they are comfortable and I like the look. Great price too.

As a fellow bearded young man, I could not agree more. All men that can, should at some point in their life.

I’m disappointed to hear that about Lamond’s book. I had been wanting to get it for awhile. Maybe I will and just tear that page out…
