Search Results for 'taxonomy'

I’ve created an Events post type that is categorized using two taxonomies: Event Type and Academic Program

I’m able to create list of Event posts and include a filter form to pull up specific events categories based on what’s selected in two drop down selections.

I want to filter the page by checking the current date and only posting events greater than the event_starting_date which is a datepicker field.

The first section is working code that allows the filtering dropdown:

<?php
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => 'academic_programs',
'show_option_all' => '- Any -',
'show_count' => 0,
'name'  => 'academic_programs',
'orderby' => 'name',
'value_field' => 'slug',
'echo' => 0
);
$select = wp_dropdown_categories( $args );
$select = preg_replace("#<select([^>]*)>#", "<select$1> ", $select);
echo $select;
?>

<?php
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => 'event_type',
'show_option_all' => '- Any -',
'show_count' => 0,
'name'  => 'event_type',
'orderby' => 'name',
'value_field' => 'slug',
'echo' => 0
);
$select = wp_dropdown_categories( $args );
$select = preg_replace("#<select([^>]*)>#", "<select$1> ", $select);
echo $select;
?>

This is where I believe I have an issue:

<?php
    $queried_object = get_queried_object () ;
    $today = date('Ymd');
    $args = array (
        'category_name'  => 'events',
         'posts_per_page' => 6,
         'orderby'   => 'meta_value',
         'meta_key' => 'event_start_date',
         'order' => 'ASC',
         'meta_query' => array(
            array(
                'key' => 'event_start_date',
                'meta-value' => $value,
                'value' => $today,
                'type' => 'DATE',
                'compare' => '>=')),
    ) ;
    $query = new WP_Query ($args) ;
    ?>

Everything past the orderby argument down to the meta query array is where things seem to break.

This is how I get the query to post. If I leave out the above code block and remove the $query variable, I do get the filter to work, albeit without the necessary sort.

<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) {  while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
                        <span><?php $date = get_field('event_start_date');
                        $starttime = get_field('event_start_time');
                        echo $date . " - " . $starttime; ?></span></br> 
                     <?php endwhile; } ?>

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I’m trying to copy the value of a taxonomy named item_year to the newly created custom field named year for each of my posts. Notice that year doesn’t have anything to do with the “real” year of the post creation, it’s just a meta description.
Do you think that there’s an automatic way to do that without going over all my posts and manually copying the value of each item_year for the custom field?

I found a script that does similar thing with other plugin, do you think it can be modified to work with ACF as well?
https://wp-filter.com/howto/convert-taxonomies-terms-values-meta-values/

Thanks a lot!

Hello there,

First, I use ACF PRO 5.11.4 and the latest WordPress 5.8.3

I’m wondering why the taxonomy fields doesn’t work in my ACF front end form.
Everything runs fine in localhost (Wamp).
Then I tried in production environment with 2 different webhosts and I get the same error message “Loading failed“.

It’s the exact same site in localhost and production.
No error in DEBUG mode (WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG and SCRIPT_DEBUG).
I tried with all plugins disabled except ACF PRO.
The same scripts are well loading in the same order in local and prod when I look at in in the console.

Seriously I think there is a parameter to change at my webhost but I don’t know what.
ANd it seems to be a general problem with most of webhost.

Do you have an idea ?

Hi. Viewed lots of topics, but still didn’t found an answer.

So, I have custom post type “flat4” and taxonomy “floor4”. On Front page I’m calling get_categories() and looping through taxonomy to get link and other stuff. I have acf to this taxonomy, and I need to output it in loop. Found this code: <?php the_field(‘hover’,’floor4_’ . $cat->term_id); ?>, but it’s not working.

Can you please help me with it?

I have a custom taxonomy and would like the core WordPress custom taxonomy of the post to update using the ACF taxonomy field on my front end form on creation and update from the front end. Does anybody know how to achieve this?

I’ve created a custom post type ‘movies’ and custom taxonomy ‘scategory’ for posts. Now in template, when i trying to get selected trems by get_field() it’s not retrieving field values.

Hello,
I try to filter the list of categories of the products received bu the rest api.
I add ‘myfield’ as ACF field.
With the plugin ACF-to-rest-api I can see the field in the rest api result under acf : {}

This url returns all the categories.
https://mywebsite/wp-json/wc/v3/products/categories/

I want to be able to filter a custom field added by ACF
https://mywebsite/wp-json/wc/v3/products/categories/?myfield=testvalue

Could someone help me ?

I suppose there is a filter or an action to add in the functions.php file but everything I tried returned all the categories without any filter.

What’s also strange, for the products, I can see in the rest api result the metadata with the values added by ACF
For the category, the metadata aren’t visible.
In the database the values are stored in termmeta for the categories and in postmeta for the products.
If I’m right, the product is a post and the category is a taxonomy.

Thanks in advance,

I just started out with ACF Pro a couple of weeks ago, not learning yet to custom code it but work with some ACF plugins.

I am building a WooCommerce store (think books & authors) and want to add the country to the author.

As far as I see it, I have several options
1. Add country as a custom field / select and just list each country per line in ACF backend

2. Add a custom taxonomy and connect it to the author. Next, add the taxonomy as an ACF field

For my use case, the 1st attempt would probably be sufficient.

However, when would it be better to create a custom taxonomy instead?

How to get the value from category color picker field for single post excerpts displayed on home page.

Something like this but in the home.php loop to style post excerpts based on the value added via the Edit Category field using color picker. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-taxonomy-term/

Hello,
I have a pretty simple app. there are two selects on an options page. the first select is for an admin to select a taxonomy (some category). then I need the next select to be able to populate with posts that have that category.

I was thinking this would be somewhat easy but I’m having a hard time since I can’t use acf/fields/post_object/query (docs) because I need the value of the category field which I don’t think I can get with PHP.

I’ve been messing around with the ajax filters and found select2_ajax_data (docs) but I’m unsure how to change the query.

Appreciate any help, Thanks!

Hi

i have question about update_field after creating a post by code (importing from xlsx)

I have some acf fields (users and taxonomies) in a custom post type “match”, so i have winners, loosers, and a multiple taxonomy select

i create post like this

$postarr = array(
'post_title' => sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( $titolo_post ) ),
'post_status' => "publish",
'post_type' => "fight",
);
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $postarr);	

and then i try to update fields

update_field("match_valevole_per_titolo",$id_titoli,$post_id);
update_field("vincitore",$lista_vincitori,$post_id);

where $id_titoli is an array with taxonomy ids, and $lista_vincitori is array with users ids

In the backend, if i enter in the post, i see all fields correctly, but quering posts there is something that is wrong BUT it is fixed if i save post (witout modify any field) from backend….just like saving updates something…. what i’m doing wrong?

Good day friends, I am coming back to ACF and need your help with one thing because I don’t know how to achieve this.. There is many information about it but any doesn’t fit my needs and custom functions just doesn’t work.

What I am trying to do is: GET taxonomy ‘car_model’ term name(value) ‘bmw’ and paste it (parse) inside custom post type ‘cars’ meta field ‘car_model’.

Maybe someone can help me with this? I am not strong in coding, but would be really appreciated for help.

I am trying to use this code:

`function my_acf_save_post( $post_id ) {
$field = get_field_object( ‘car_model’ );
$value = $field[‘value’];
$label = $field[‘choices’][ $value ];
$value1 = get_field( ‘car_model’, $post_id );

update_field( ‘car_model’, $value1, $post_id );
}
add_action(‘acf/save_post’, ‘my_acf_save_post’, 20);

Anyone can help me with this?

F.A.Q:
1) There is a lot of terms, but only 1 will be available to choose from all and display.
2) I need this function to parse term name(value) to custom post meta field.
3) No really I am just beginner who is trying to study hard to work with PHP, WP, ACF once again without stopping.

Hi. I have some ACF fields defined on both a custom post type and custom taxonomy. All works well (GET and POST) when accessing the REST API “traditionally”, but when we use the internal REST functionality using the “rest_do_request()” function in our template, the result does not include the ACF fields. (Switching the “ACF to REST API” plugin does work, but causes other issues.) Any help would be greatly appreciated…

Hi,

i have a custom taxonomy named “Contact”
For this taxonomy, i have 2 custom fields named “Email du contact” and “Télephone du contact”

I can’t retrieve those 2 custom fields

I try to do this :

$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'contact' );

But when i do a print_r, i have my taxonomies without those 2 custom fields :

Array

        )

)

Thanks for your help

Hi,

so far I have done only very simple things with ACF, and wonder if following is even possible. I know it is a more difficult and extensive questions with multiple steps. I really appreciate any input on one of them.

I want to add some fields to the Woocommerce Reviews Form. Out of the Box it is just 5 Stars and a comment textfield.

Example:

The shop sells books. I created a taxonomy for the characteristics of the book with terms like “thrilling”, “spooky”, “funny”, etc. When a user writes a review, in addition to the 5 Stars and comment, I want him to pick multiple of those terms, that descripe the book best in his opinion.

When he sumbmits his Review I want the chosen terms to be displayed in his review.

Above the reviews a summary is displayed with the average 5 Star ratings of all reviews. I would like to display the chosen Taxonomy terms of all reviews there, too. But only the three most used ones.

The Users are already able to filter the Woocommerce shop with certain taxonomies. I would like those products to appear when you filter for one of those top 3 Terms in the summary.

Thanks for your support!

Hello,

I have two CPT’s – “Resource” and “Publication”. Both share similar taxonomy’s, “Type” for example. “Publications” can be linked to “Resources” via an ACF relationship field using post objects.

Is there a way to add the taxonomy terms from the “Publications” to the “Resource” when the pubs posts are added via the relationship field? So the “Resource” would inherit all the “Types” from the pubs contained within, as it were?

Thanks!

Hello,
I’m using a taxonomy field and I’m trying to show the terms used as a class name in a div.

Something like:
<div class="term1 term2 term3">Item</div>
Where these terms are grabbed from the taxonomy field in the panel.

Does anyone know how can I show the items without whitespace, commas, or anything? Just one next to the other with an space, like normal CSS classes.

Thanks in advance

I have code to load the last 6 terms and only use terms without children so I get the months and not the years which are both part of the same Taxonomy as terms. I can already load the titles as links, but I am trying to load the attached ACF image field which I am failing to do.

I use $summaryimage = get_field('summary_preview_image'); inside this block.php file to then use it for wp_get_attachment_image( $summaryimage, $size ). But it seems that the variable is not loading anything and so my term image is not being loaded. Question is why this is not working inside wp-content/themes/theme/blocks/spotlight/block.php I am guessing cause I perhaps need to indicate more in the get_field request to grab the image from the specific group which is used to attach a custom filed to the term.. But how?

Hi,

I try to get taxonomy values of my ACF color picker but my fucntion returns empty.
Do yo know where i am wfong please ?
Taxonomy slug = portfoliocategories
Terms slug = sport, culture, others
Acf slug = couleur

add_shortcode(  'acf_colour' , 'get_colour');

function get_colour( $atts ) {

$queried_object = get_queried_object(); 
$term_id = $queried_object->ID; 
$terms = wp_get_post_terms($term_id ,'portfoliocategories');
 
      foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
        
       $colour= get_field('couleur', $term->taxonomy . '_' .$term->term_id  );

       print_r ($colour);
   }

 return  $colour  ;
}

We have added an advanced custom fields block to load a post object on the home page with the latest custom post type post. This setup allows us to choose a post to display.

"fields": [
  {
      "key": "field_xxxxxx",
      "label": "Label",
      "name": "motd",
      "type": "post_object",
      "instructions": "",
      "required": 0,
      "conditional_logic": 0,
      "wrapper": {
          "width": "",
          "class": "",
          "id": ""
      },
      "post_type": [
          "label"
      ],
      "taxonomy": "",
      "allow_null": 1,
      "multiple": 0,
      "return_format": "object",
      "ui": 1
  }

What we would like to have is the option to load on of the latest x posts at random.

I looked at https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/using-acf-to-create-randomized-ad-block/ and array_rand seems to be useful to load at random from an array of posts.

But how would we do that with the post object choice?

Today I have another problem on this WP query with pagination
I had this code

Hello,
I try to build a form for my visitor to allow “filter” post. I have 2 fields with price and 1 with checkbox.

Now that’s work but it’s too restrictiv. I have 3 checkbox with value “decoration”, “sport”, “jeux”. When I checked one it’s that’s return the right post. When I check 2 or more this return only post the values I want all the post with only 1 value correct not specially too.

Exemple
Post 1 = decoration, sport
Post 2 = decoration, jeux
Post 3 = jeux

If I checked decoration
Return Post 1 and 2 ok

If I checked decoration and jeux
Return Post 2 but I want numbers 2 and 3. I think it’s maybe a compare problem ?

Hello to all,

after having exhausted all the resources where you should be able to locate the option to reset the position of a panel, I have decided to ask it here in the hope of getting a solution.

A few years ago I created a website managed by several people, two days ago, one of them told me that after a change he made on the website, the panel created with ACF for a specific taxonomy and the YOAST panel, which are usually at the bottom, is now located in the editor tools panel, along with the post image, permalink, etc… I thought I had made some change in the ACF configuration, but when I logged in I saw that the only admin is me and the others are editors, a role that is quite limited. Does anyone have any idea how a user can make this modification without sufficient privileges and without having access to the code (in this there have been no changes, I have the project linked locally)?

I can remove some custom panels from the sidebar of the post and put them under the editor, but I can’t reposition them.

Thank everyone

Hi,
I have a Country taxonomy then set a ACF image FLAG for each county.
In a elementor loop i try to display with a shorcode but this returns nothing, is it normal ?
$image = get_field('flag', 'country' . '_' . get_the_ID());
thanks

I currently have

<?php 

// Variables
$number_of_events = get_field( 'number_of_events' );
// print_r($number_of_events);
$event_categories = get_field('event_categories');
$event_cat_ids = wp_list_pluck( $event_categories, 'term_id' );

$args = array(
		'post_type' 		=> 'event',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'posts_per_page'	=> $number_of_events,
		'order'				=> 'DESC',
);
			
$args['tax_query'] = array(
	'relation' 		=> 'OR', 

	array(
		'taxonomy'	=> 'event_category',
		'field'		=> 'term_id',
		'terms'		=> $event_cat_ids
	),			
		
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> 
	<div class="event-grid">
		<?php while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
		// $date_number = get_field('date_number');
		// $date_number = get_field('date_and_time');
		// $event_title = get_field('event_title');
		// $event_location = get_field('event_location');
		// $event_description = get_field('event_description'); 
		?>
			<div class="block-box event-box">
				<div class="event-number-container">
					<p class="event-number">date<?php //echo $date_number; ?></p>
				</div>
				<div class="event-details">
					<p class="event-date-time"><?php the_field('date_and_time' ?></p>
					<h4 class="event-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
					<p class="event-location">event location<?php // echo $event_location; ?></p>
				</div>
			</div>
		<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>

but I want to get the field date_and_time which I attached to object events. How do I take care of this? Tried adding the term, and grabbing it using

$term = get_queried_object();
$date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);

but no luck yet somehow..
