How to check Taxonomy Term ID (e.g. BMW, New York, Used, Coupe) – tag_ID

Find the numeric ID that WordPress gives a taxonomy term — a make, model, city or body type — so you can reference that term in snippets such as a custom dropdown order.

Every taxonomy term in Vehica — Make, Model, City, Body Type and the rest — has a numeric ID. Snippets that build a custom order of options in a dropdown refer to terms by that ID, so this is usually the first thing you need to look up.

As an example, here is how to find the IDs of the Coupe and SUV body types.

1 Open the taxonomy
In the WordPress admin, go to Listings and pick the taxonomy you need — in this example Body Type.
2 Hover the term and click Edit
On the taxonomy screen, hover the term whose ID you want and click Edit in the row actions.
3 Read the ID from the address bar
On the edit screen the address bar ends with tag_ID=VALUE. That value is the term ID — for Coupe it is 2320.
4 Repeat for the other terms
Do the same for every term you need. For SUV the ID is 2325.
