Reply To: acf/save_post – wrong taxonomy field value

Here is the code from the ACF Taxonomy field where the value is loaded. This function is called immediately after getting the value of the field when using get_field(). As you can see, if field[‘load_terms’] is true, the value is discarded and replaced with whatever is retrieved by wp_get_object_terms(). I have only included the important bits of this function and removed everything else.

function load_value( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
  $value = acf_get_valid_terms($value, $field['taxonomy']);
  // load_terms
  if( $field['load_terms'] ) {
    // get terms
    $term_ids = wp_get_object_terms($post_id, $field['taxonomy'], array('fields' => 'ids', 'orderby' => 'none'));
    $value = $term_ids;
  }
  return $value;
}
