So i’ve been looking for ever to get this to work. By I have a custom taxonomy “functie” that is liked to ACF “ook_inzetbaar_als”. I got this to work. But it only shows me the ID’s and not the names of the checked fields.

Here is a screenshot of the ACF:

And here is the code that give me the ID’s but I want the Names.

$ook = get_field('ook_in_zetbaar_als');
<?php if( $ook): ?>
    <tr>
	<td class="td-top"valign="top">Inzet:</td>
	<td>
	  <ul>
	    <?php foreach( $ook as $ook ): ?>
	      <li><?php echo $ook; ?></li>
	    <?php endforeach; ?>
	  </ul>
	</td>
</tr>
<?php endif; ?>

I’ve looked everywhere and tried all kinds of snippets.

Hi @puur

Demonstrated in this Taxonomy doc, you could change the line in your code where you create the “li” and echo $ook to be something like:

<li><?php echo $ook->name; ?></li>

In the same code on the above linked page, it also shows how to get the link and description.

Hope that helps!
