Can't get get_field('field','tag_XXXX') to work on tag template

  • Hello,
    as the title says, i’m trying to retrieve a field named “meta_desc” on my tag.php template.

    
    $term = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
    $identifier = "tag_".$term->term_id;
    $description = get_field('meta_desc',$identifier);

    => $identifier seems correct (is tag_XXXX), but $description is always empty, it’s driving me mad, what did I miss ?

    (i’ve tried this code directly in tag.php, and into functions.php as well, and same results everytime, always empty).

  • ! Found the solution : I should have used post_tag instead of tag.
    That’s not very intuitive, but glad I stumbled upon a reference in the Codex.

    Eliott, I suggest you add this in the get_field documentation, it’s rather clear for category_ID, but not for tags, and I can’t be the only one trying to do that 🙂

    Cheers,
    Baptiste
