How to get values from a CUSTOM taxonomy?

The normal way:
get_field(‘icon’, ‘category_’ . $term->term_id );
doesn’t work with CUSTOM taxonomy

@moncero,

Try replacing ‘category_’ with your custom taxonomy slug

From documentation:

All the API functions can be used with a taxonomy term, however, a second parameter is required to target the term ID. This is similar to passing through a post_id to target a specific post object.

The $post_id needed is a string containing the taxonomy name + the term ID in this format: “$TaxonomyName_$TermID”
Examples
Display a field

<p><?php the_field('field_name', 'thetaxonomyname_7'); ?></p>
