Hi

I Just tried to display a simple custom field from a taxanomy with this code:

<?php
$citrus = 'citrus';
$variablew2 = get_field('parftestinfo', $citrus);

echo $variablew2 . 'test';

?>

It just display “test” on the page, am I doing something wrong?

I included a picture with the taxanomy.

Try using the category’s ID:

$citrusID = 123;
$variablew2 = get_field( 'parftestinfo', 'category_' . $citrusID );

How to Get Values From a Taxonomy Term

Hi

Thank you for your answer, but it didn’t help unfortunately.

I tried creating a normal category and used this code:

<?php
$citrusID = 1420;
$variablew22 = get_field( 'parftestinfo', 'category_' . $citrusID );

echo $variablew22;

?>

But it is still not showing anything from the parftestinfo field.

Is the taxonomy of your term ‘category’? or are you using a custom taxonomy? If the term is a ‘category’ and that is the correct field name and term ID then what you’re doing should be working.

Hi

I tried with a normal category and used that ID and I also tried with a custom taxanomy, but no matter what, nothing is shown from that field.

I even tried creating more custom fields, but nothing is shown.

What version of ACF are you using?

Have you tried deactivating other plugins or changing themes?
