Extending Tags

Hi all,

I have added field to tags using ACF. I have then create a new separate taxonomy field so that I can select a preferred tag.

From the post, I can get the preferred tag id. What I am struggling with is getting the fields from a tag where I know the tag_id.

Looking at the database, I can see that I want the data from wp_termdata using term_id

Can I get this data using ACF functions or do I need to use WP functions?

Thanks

This is my problem, that article is around getting tag fields from a post.

I don’t want to do that.

I want to get all of the fields associated with a tag by tag_id

this code in the article gets fields from the term

$image = get_field('image', $term);

Get the taxonomy field

$terms = get_field('taxonomy_field');
foreach ($terms as $term) {
  // tax field returs IDs, use this
  $some_value = get_field('some_field', 'term_'.$term);
  // tax field returns term objects. use this
  $some_value = get_field('some_field', $term);
}
