I have a custom taxonomy called “cities.” I have set up ACF to use this taxonomy as the data source for two separate term lists (“Born” and “Died”). Because of this the “Cities” taxonomy is never directly applied to a post and so the use counts shown on the “Cities” taxonomy list page are all zero.
I’d like this to be accurate, but it will require some custom code to manually update the numbers shown. Is there a way to manually manipulate the term count on a taxonomy list page?
I just ran into this same problem. Taxonomies selected via ACF fields do update the actual use count. get_terms() only returns terms with a use count > 1.
Save Terms and Load Terms are both set to Yes btw.
