Get Field from Custom Post Typ

  • I currently have

    <?php 

// Variables
$number_of_events = get_field( 'number_of_events' );
// print_r($number_of_events);
$event_categories = get_field('event_categories');
$event_cat_ids = wp_list_pluck( $event_categories, 'term_id' );

$args = array(
		'post_type' 		=> 'event',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'posts_per_page'	=> $number_of_events,
		'order'				=> 'DESC',
);
			
$args['tax_query'] = array(
	'relation' 		=> 'OR', 

	array(
		'taxonomy'	=> 'event_category',
		'field'		=> 'term_id',
		'terms'		=> $event_cat_ids
	),			
		
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> 
	<div class="event-grid">
		<?php while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
		// $date_number = get_field('date_number');
		// $date_number = get_field('date_and_time');
		// $event_title = get_field('event_title');
		// $event_location = get_field('event_location');
		// $event_description = get_field('event_description'); 
		?>
			<div class="block-box event-box">
				<div class="event-number-container">
					<p class="event-number">date<?php //echo $date_number; ?></p>
				</div>
				<div class="event-details">
					<p class="event-date-time"><?php the_field('date_and_time' ?></p>
					<h4 class="event-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
					<p class="event-location">event location<?php // echo $event_location; ?></p>
				</div>
			</div>
		<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>

    but I want to get the field date_and_time which I attached to object events. How do I take care of this? Tried adding the term, and grabbing it using 

    $term = get_queried_object();
$date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);

    but no luck yet somehow..

  • Assuming events is a taxonomy, you would need to get the term ID and use that in the get_field code.

    $term = get_queried_object()->term_id;
$date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);

    Code untested

  • Events is taxonomy 'post_type' => 'events' but when I add

    $term = get_queried_object()->term_id;
print_r($term);

    to code here inside the while loop nothing is printed. The new query does already load the events custom post type, but now with fields added I want to load them too.

    <?php 

// Variables
$number_of_events = get_field( 'number_of_events' );
// print_r($number_of_events);
$event_categories = get_field('event_categories');
$event_cat_ids = wp_list_pluck( $event_categories, 'term_id' );

$args = array(
		'post_type' 		=> 'event',
		'post_status'		=> 'publish',
		'posts_per_page'	=> $number_of_events,
		'order'				=> 'DESC',
);
			
$args['tax_query'] = array(
	'relation' 		=> 'OR', 

	array(
		'taxonomy'	=> 'event_category',
		'field'		=> 'term_id',
		'terms'		=> $event_cat_ids
	),			
		
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
if( $query->have_posts() ) : ?> 
	<div class="event-grid">
		<?php while( $query->have_posts() ): $query->the_post();
		$term = get_queried_object()->term_id;
		print_r($term);
		// $date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);
		// print_r($date_and_time);
		// $date_number = get_field('date_number');
		// $date_number = get_field('date_and_time');
		// $event_title = get_field('event_title');
		// $event_location = get_field('event_location');
		// $event_description = get_field('event_description'); 
		?>
			<div class="block-box event-box">
				<div class="event-number-container">
					<p class="event-number">date<?php //echo $date_number; ?>

				</div>
				<div class="event-details">
					<p class="event-date-time"><?php // echo $date_and_time; ?>

					<h4 class="event-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
					<p class="event-location">event location<?php // echo $event_location; ?>

				</div>
			</div>
		<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_postdata();
endif;
?>

    So I used $term = $query->get_queried_object()->term_id; and did get id 146. so making progress here.

    Getting the date_and_time field for posts queried do not load yet though.. we also use more categories for the events cpt of course..

    $term = $query->get_queried_object()->term_id;
// print_r($term);
$date_and_time = get_field('date_and_time', $term);
print_r($date_and_time);

    I guess I may need to focus on the custom post type and not the term here?

  • I see I made it all too hard.

    the_field('date_and_time', get_the_id())

    works just fine. This as it is inside a new query $query = new WP_Query( $args );
