Hello!

Try to add custom field to product category pages.

Read topics:

http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/how-to/how-to-get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/

Did the same things, field apply to the category page, but on the main product page (catalog) I get the error

“Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/core/api.php on line 23”

Hi!

Yep, I have solved it.

I had to add 2nd description on category pages, so I created custom field ‘second_description’ and put this code (below) at the file woocommerce file ‘archive-product.php’

<?php

// vars
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;

// load desc for this taxonomy term (term object)
$sec_descrip = get_field(‘second_description’, $queried_object);

// load desc for this taxonomy term (term string)
$sec_descrip = get_field(‘second_description’, $taxonomy . ‘_’ . $term_id);

?>

<div class=”term-description”><?php the_field( ‘second_description’, $queried_object ); ?></div>
