I remembered I made a awesome mega menu with acf, but it stopped at “adding a category as a menu item”.

This plugin no longer works with the new ACF.

Is there a straight forward fix @elliot

I have done an adaptation on the solution given by John Huebner on this issue:
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/user-list-in-a-select-field/

add_filter('acf/load_field/name=referente_a_categoria', 'populateCategories');
function populateCategories( $field ){   
    // reset choices
    $field['choices'] = array();   
    
        $hiterms = get_terms("product_cat", array("orderby" => "slug", "hide_empty"    => false )); 
        foreach($hiterms as $key => $hiterm) : 
            $field['choices'][ get_term_link( $hiterm ) ] = $hiterm->name;
        endforeach; 

    return $field;
}

@studioadmire

Has anyone found a solution to this? Does the plugin @twgerard created no longer work?

+1 on this being a built-in

Some use cases:

– blog category archive pages
– woo product category archive pages
– woo product tag archive pages

Hi All,

This can be done as follows:

Field Type: Taxonomy
Taxonomy: Select your category
Appearance: Select
Return Value: Term Object (not Term ID)

Here’s how to display it on your Theme:

<?php $cat_link_term = get_field( 'my_category_url' ); ?>
<?php if ( $cat_link_term ): ?>
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/<?php echo $cat_link_term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $cat_link_term->name; ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

Here’s how to us it within a repeater:

<?php while(the_repeater_field('my_category_repeater')) { ?>

<?php $cat_link_term = get_sub_field( 'my_category_url' ); ?>
<?php if ( $cat_link_term ): ?>
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/<?php echo $cat_link_term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $cat_link_term->name; ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php } ?>

Thanks,
Lee.
