Can't display the fields assigned in Taxonomies in other pages

Hello ACFers,

We have created a custom product taxonomy named Author (product_author) on a woocommerce project.
In this taxonomy we have created a custom field named creator, which have different types of authors like poet, write etc.

We have found a way to display this fields only on this specific page by calling them with the code

$field = get_field_object( 'creator' );
$value = $field['value'];
esc_attr($value);

We want also to display this field in the product page but we haven’t figure out how.

We are trying to use something like this $field = get_field_object(‘my_field’, 123) but it’s not working because the number 123 is representing posts id and not tag_ID that is used for taxonomies.

Is it possible to display this fields in other pages?

Hi @ramonesmania_1986hotmail-com

You need to loop through the taxonomy and get the ID, then use that to access the ACF data:

#get the taxonomy
if( $authors = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'author' ) ) ) :
	foreach( $authors as $author ) :
		
		#echo $author->term_id; #debug

		#now you have the tax ID, you can access the ACF field

		#use this option to return the value or label
		$author = get_field('creator', 'author_'.$author->term_id); 
		echo $author;
		
		#ensure the return format is set to both (array) in the acf field to use the below
		$value =  esc_attr($author['value']);
		$label =  esc_html($author['label']);
		echo 'value: '.$value.' label: '.$label; 

	endforeach;
endif;
