Hi @wecandoit

To show the custom field value from a taxonomy term, kindly follow this guide: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/.

I hope this helps 🙂

Hi @wecandoit

The code depends on where you assign the custom fields.

Based on your previous code, the code should have this structure:

<?php echo get_field('petite_description_cat', '$taxonomy_$termID');?>

You can get the $taxonomy and $termID value by checking the URL when editing the term. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.

As you can see in the screenshot, there are taxonomy=categoryand tag_ID=10. So if you assign the custom field to a category with ID of “10”, then you need to do it like this:

<?php echo get_field('petite_description_cat', 'category_10');?>

If you don’t know how to code and don’t have time to learn it, I suggest you hire a developer to help you out.

I hope this makes sense 🙂

Thanks for this help.
After lot of experimentation i found this
<?php echo get_field('petite_description_cat', 'category_' . $cat);?>

And it’s work. I don’t if this method is good but that’s work.
