I’m using advanced custom fields taxonomy field to select a particular term of a custom taxonomy. I can generate the term ID based on the field but I can’t display the link or the name of the term. Below is the code that I have that is generating a blank page

<?php if(get_field('expertise_projects')): ?>

<ul class="row expertise_projects">

  <?php while(has_sub_field('expertise_projects')): ?>

<li  class="col span_3">

<?php 

$term_id =  get_sub_field('expertise_category');
$term_link = get_term_link( $term_id, 'expertise' );
echo '<a href="' . $term_link . '">View cat</a>'; 
 ?> 

<?php
 
$post_object = get_sub_field('expertise_project');
 
if( $post_object ): 
 
  // override $post
  $post = $post_object;
  setup_postdata( $post ); 
 
  ?>

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" ><?php the_post_thumbnail('our_work');?></a>
 <?php endif; ?>

            <h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" <?php if ( !has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>class="large_title" <?php endif; ?>><?php the_title(); ?></a>

<?php if( get_field('client_name') ): ?><span><?php the_field('client_name');?></span><?php endif; ?>
            </h4>
                
            </li>

    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>
<?php endif; ?>            

  <?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

<?php endif; ?>

Hi @jshindler

Can you please debug the value of both $term_id and $term_link like so:

<?php 

echo '<pre>';
	print_r( $term_link );
echo '</pre>';
die;
 ?>

What values do you get for both variables?

Thanks
E
