Sorry – that was extremely unclear.
Here is what I need: to be able to select a taxonomy on the options page and pass the name and slug for the taxonomy to other pages.
When I use get_field as discussed on the taxonomy page:
$term = get_field('summer_semester', 'option');
It’s not returning $term->name
or $term->slug
So I’m assuming I need to do something different when the $term is coming from the options page.
