Hi all,
I am working with ACF 4.3.4, WP 3.8.1
I have a custom post type of Inventory with a custom taxonomy of Condition. I have a custom taxonomy field (single select) set up for Trailer Condition.
I am simply trying to display the Condition term name on a single inventory post using the code on this page:
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/taxonomy/
Here is the code in the template:
<?php $term = get_field('trailer_condition');
if( $term ): ?>
<div class="condition">Condition: <?php echo $term->name; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
But nothing displays for the term name.
Here is the var dump for $term:
array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#429 (11) { [“term_id”]=> int(13) [“name”]=> string(4) “Used” [“slug”]=> string(4) “used” [“term_group”]=> int(0) [“term_taxonomy_id”]=> int(13) [“taxonomy”]=> string(9) “condition” [“description”]=> string(0) “” [“parent”]=> int(0) [“count”]=> int(1) [“object_id”]=> int(117) [“filter”]=> string(3) “raw” } }
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Thank you
Terry

Hi @tcnolan7
Your var_dump shows that $term is actually an array. Did you choose a multi-select field type for the taxonomy field?
You will need to loop over the terms and output them each – even if there is only 1.
Thanks

Any code examples to help others out who are having troubles with this as well?
The documentation on custom taxonomies is very limited btw!
Hi,
This is what worked for me. My custom field was a single select. I had to use the following to display the term:
<?php $term = get_field('trailer_condition');
if( $term ): ?>
<div class="trailercondition">Condition: <?php echo $term[0]->name; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
Hope that helps.
Hello,
I have the same problem but how would I make it work with the Visual Composer element ? I am trying to display the Taxonomy names
