Hello everyone,
i have added an image field to customize categories but i cannot seem to be able to retrieve the image url.
the page is NOT in a loop nor a category.php page but in a generic one.
this is part of the code:
....
$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach($categories as $category) {
$term = $category->slug;
echo $term; //correctly displayed
$img = get_field('immagine_attivita', '$term');
....
<div class='bgs' data-depth='0.4' style='background: url($img)'></div>
//this outputs just a partial URL
tried to do a lot of resaserches, but with no success.
any hints?
ty vm!
m
....
$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach($categories as $category) {
$term = $category->term_id;
echo $term; //correctly displayed
$img = get_field('immagine_attivita', 'term_'.$term);
....
hello,
thank you, but nope, it’s not working 🙁
If there is an error then it has to do with something else. This is the correct way to get field values from a term. You can also supply the term object. https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-fields-taxonomy-term/
Do you have the image field set to return a URL? https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/image/
yes i suppose something is not working 😀
i am attaching the ACF setup (which is correct, according to the same guide you linked, already spotted in the past)
in the category section i correctly display the image filed but also have a clone in the main area: maybe something fails due to that?
i have the same issue.
i am using get field for category but not working
get_field('some_field', 'category_categoryID')
simply not working.
i have changed that category is not the category for standard posttype but for custom posttype. maybe thats the reason?
found a solution.
had to update (resave) each category term in the backend and now its working.
greetings Timmi
