Hi there,
it seems like the solution for “Basic display (single value)” described here
http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/field-types/taxonomy/
didn’t work.
I have a field which is defined in PHP like this:
array (size=18)
'key' => string 'field_vehicle_ad_make' (length=21)
'label' => string 'Make' (length=4)
'name' => string 'make' (length=4)
'_name' => string 'make' (length=4)
'type' => string 'taxonomy' (length=8)
'order_no' => int 1
'instructions' => string '' (length=0)
'required' => int 1
'id' => string 'acf-field-make' (length=14)
'class' => string 'taxonomy' (length=8)
'conditional_logic' =>
array (size=3)
'status' => int 0
'allorany' => string 'all' (length=3)
'rules' => int 0
'taxonomy' => string 'make' (length=4)
'field_type' => string 'select' (length=6)
'allow_null' => int 1
'load_save_terms' => int 1
'return_format' => string 'object' (length=6)
'multiple' => boolean false
'value' =>
array (size=1)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[6256]
public 'term_id' => int 594
public 'name' => string 'Volkswagen' (length=10)
public 'slug' => string 'volkswagen' (length=10)
public 'term_group' => int 0
public 'term_taxonomy_id' => int 604
public 'taxonomy' => string 'make' (length=4)
public 'description' => string '' (length=0)
public 'parent' => int 0
public 'count' => int 3
public 'object_id' => int 1443
public 'filter' => string 'raw' (length=3)
the “field_type” is “select” as I only what 1 term for this taxonomy.
but if I do the following:
<?php
$term = get_field('field_vehicle_ad_make');
if( $term ): ?>
<h2><?php echo $term->name; ?></h2>
<p><?php echo $term->description; ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
I always get an array and not a single object.
The documentation says:
Basic display (single value)
This example shows how to get and display a single term object. This would imply that your field type setting is checkbox or multi-select.
But I think that doesn’t make any sense, “checkbox” or “multi-select” for a single term object.
Is this a bug?
I may be having a similar issue. Have you tried for testing purposes, change the select to radio button? That seemed to be a quick work around for me.
