How to get the current taxonomy term ID (not the slug) in WordPress?

I've created a taxonomy.php page in my WordPress theme folder. I would like to get the current term id for a function. How can I get this?

get_query_var('taxonomy') only returns the term slug, I want the ID

Solution 1:

Nevermind! I found it :)

get_queried_object()->term_id;

Solution 2:

Simple and easy!

get_queried_object_id()

Solution 3:

Here's the whole code snippet needed:

$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;

Solution 4:

Use following code

This will print your current taxonomy name and description(optional)

<?php 
   $tax = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   echo ''. $tax->name . '';
   echo "<br>";
   echo ''. $tax->description .''; 
?>

Solution 5:

If you are in taxonomy page.

That's how you get all details about the taxonomy.

get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );

This is how you get the taxonomy id

$termId = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) )->term_id;

But if you are in post page (taxomony -> child)

$terms = wp_get_object_terms( get_queried_object_id(), 'taxonomy-name');
$term_id = $terms[0]->term_id;
