Hi, I’m trying to use acf custom fields to show a taxonomy term name inside the mailster plugin, this plugin allows me to get information from a post through its field slug.

But when i call my taxonomy field it only return the id of the taxonomy, is there any way to make it return the name?

I know i can make it happen with the get_field function, but inside the mailster plugin thats not an option.

Thanks

Hi,

I’m not using any specific code for this as mailster uses the custom field slug to show the content.

What i have tried was changing some options when creating the custom fields.
Here are the settings i’ve tried:

Field Type = Taxonomy
Taxonomy = custom taxonomy created with CPT UI
Appearance = selection
Create Terms = yes
Save Terms = yes
Load Terms = yes
Returned value = Object Term

And

Create Terms = no
Save Terms = no
Load Terms = no
Returned value = Object ID

When i choose the returned value to be the object term, nothing loads. So i was wondering if iam missing something while creating the custom field.

PS: If it helps when i use the the_field(‘field-slug’); function, it also returns the ID instead of the term.

Thanks
