Hello,
I have a custom taxonomy and I followed this tutorial to include a new ACF field when editing individual categories: http://naileditdesign.com/add-advanced-custom-field-category/
It works great, except when I view the main Categories page via WP Admin, I do not see my custom field in the category table. By default, it only shows Name, Description, Slug, and Count but I’d like the values for my custom category field to also appear in that table. How can I achieve this?
Also, for reference, here’s the code I’m working with. The second issue I’m running into is I’m not sure how to call the get_field value where it says “NEED-ACF-HERE”:
<?php // show all Video categories with posts
$custom_terms = get_terms('videos_categories',array('orderby'=>'NEED-ACF-HERE','order'=>'ASC'));
foreach($custom_terms as $custom_term) {
wp_reset_query();
$args = array('post_type' => 'videos',
'orderby' => 'date',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'videos_categories',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => $custom_term->slug,
),
),
);
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
if($loop->have_posts()) {
?>
Hi @recoildesign
To add additional columns to the wp-admin category list, please take a look at this thread: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6883/how-can-i-add-a-custom-column-to-the-manage-categories-table. Unfortunately, this is more od a WordPress question. Please consult to WordPress forum for further support.
I’m afraid there’s no easy way to sort terms based on a custom field. You need to use an advanced SQL query to do that or loop through the terms and sort it later. This page should give you more idea about it: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/how-to-query-taxonomies-by-custom-field/.
Hope this helps.
