So I recently updated all plugins on a client’s website but suddenly I can’t get the value of a page’s category anymore. It shows all images now, instead of images per category because it returns an empty string.
$category_field = get_field('category');
$category = $category_field->name;
$posts = get_posts_by_category($category);
When I echo $category, it displays nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
Update: when I do the following:
print_r('$category_field')
it shows: Array ( [0] => 31 )
So basically there’s is no content such as ‘name’ or ‘description’.. It was there before because it worked.
Check the settings on the field you are trying to get. It looks like it is returning term IDs instead of terms.
Also, there may have been a change. ACF 5 always returns an array of terms or term IDs, deepening on the return value set in the field’s settings.
