I have a custom taxonomy called “shops”. I have some custom fields related to the taxonomy. 1 custom field is a checkbox with 3 options: option 1, option 2 option 3
on my front page i want to show a list of the taxonomy shops only if the value of the custom field is option 1.
is this possible? If it is possible how do i do that?
the code i tried is:
<?php
$terms = get_terms("shops");
$value = get_field('shop_options', 'shops_'.$wp_query->queried_object->term_id);
if( $value == "option_1" )
{
echo 'something';
}
?>
Hi @Ron Willemse
The get_terms function will return an array of terms. This means you need to loop through the code and run your if statement for each term like so:
<?php
$terms = get_terms("shops");
if( $terms )
{
foreach( $terms as $term )
{
$value = get_field('shop_options', 'shops_'.$term->term_id);
if( $value == "option_1" )
{
echo 'something';
}
}
}
?>
Hope that helps
Thanks

Thnx for the advice
if i change
$value = get_field(‘shop_options’, ‘shops_’.$term->term_id);
to
$value = implode(‘, ‘, get_field(‘shop_options’, ‘shops_’.$term->term_id));
it works
only now i get the error Warning: implode(): Invalid arguments passed in (path) on line 6 .
do i have to put something else in the code?
Hi @Ron Willemse
You most likely need to test that the value exists before passing it into the implode function.
Thanks

i can’t figured out what to add to the code if i want to check if the value exists. can you help me?
Hi @Ron Willemse
This is called an if statement. Please review the ACF documentation code examples or refer to Google / PHP for documentation about the if statement.
Thanks

i know its a if statement but i don’t know where to put it. I’m not a php developer.
i tried:
if ($value){
$value = implode(', ', get_field('winkel_uitgelicht', 'winkels_'.$term->term_id));
}
but that don’t work
i found a solution:
if (is_array(get_field('winkel_uitgelicht', 'winkels_'.$term->term_id))) {
$value = implode(', ', get_field('winkel_uitgelicht', 'winkels_'.$term->term_id));
