Hi,

i have a custom taxonomy named “Contact”
For this taxonomy, i have 2 custom fields named “Email du contact” and “Télephone du contact”

I can’t retrieve those 2 custom fields

I try to do this :

$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'contact' );

But when i do a print_r, i have my taxonomies without those 2 custom fields :

Array
(
    [0] => WP_Term Object
        (
            [term_id] => 127
            [name] => Contact 1
            [slug] => contact-1
            [term_group] => 0
            [term_taxonomy_id] => 48
            [taxonomy] => contact
            [description] => 
            [parent] => 0
            [count] => 5
            [filter] => raw
        )

    [1] => WP_Term Object
        (
            [term_id] => 130
            [name] => Contact 2
            [slug] => contact-2
            [term_group] => 0
            [term_taxonomy_id] => 51
            [taxonomy] => contact
            [description] => 
            [parent] => 0
            [count] => 1
            [filter] => raw
        )

)

Thanks for your help

You need to loop the taxonomies and in doing so, get the taxonomy ID

Once you have that, you can access the custom fields you store against the taxonomy.

Something like:

<?php if( $contacts = get_terms( array( 'taxonomy' => 'contact' ) ) ) :
foreach( $contacts as $contact ) : 
	$email_du_contact  = get_field('email_du_contact', 'term_' .$contact->term_id  );?>
	<?php echo $email_du_contact; ?>
<?php endforeach;      
endif;
?>
