Hello, i have a CPT called codes and 2 taxonomies called shops and banners.
in ACF i related the taxonomy banners to taxonomy shops with the taxonomy add on. Now i want to output the custom fields from banners on the page where i output my taxonomy shops.
normally if i want to output a field from a taxonomy i use:
<?php the_field('field name from taxonomy shops ','shops_'.$wp_query->queried_object->term_id);?>
that’s really working great.
but now i want to output a field from the related taxonomy: banners.
i tried
<?php the_field('field name from taxonomy banners','shops_'.$wp_query->queried_object->term_object);?>
but it only give me a #id and not the data from the custom field of taxonomy banners.
What’s going wrong?
Hi @Ron Willemse
The above cannot be done in 1 single function. You will need to break it into 2 steps.
1. use get_field to find the related taxonomy.
2. Depending on the return type setting (ID / Object), you need to then use that data to load the field from.
Does that help?
Thanks

Thnx, first of all i like to thank you for the ACF plugin. the second thing is i’m a frontend developer and not really good in php. Can you give me a example?
Hi @Ron Willemse
I’m not 100% sure, but I think your code should be something like this:
<?php
// vars
$current_term = $wp_query->queried_object;
// use get_field to find the related taxonomy.
$related_term = get_field('field name from taxonomy shops ', $current_term->taxonomy . '_' . $current_term->term_id);
// Depending on the return type setting (ID / Object), you need to then use that data to load the field from.
$related_term_field = get_field('field_name', $related_term->taxonomy . '_' . $related_term->term_id );
echo $related_term_field;
?>
If that deosn’t look write, perhaps you could clearly define the steps needed to get the data you want from the current taxonomy term?
Thanks
