Trouble in displaying category link

Hi there,

I have a fields group in which I have a text field and a taxonomy link, which is set to display only product categories with the radio buttons. Everything is displaying fine in WP Dashboard (a list of categories is displayed and I can choose one), but I have trouble in getting the link on the page.

Here’s the code I tried:

 
<?php
		
    // vars
    $groupfield = get_field('group01');
    $shopid = get_sub_field('cat_link');         

       if( $groupfield ):?>

        <div class="content">
            <?php echo $groupfield['text01']; ?>
            <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $shopid ); ?>" class="button">See</a>
        </div>
                        
       <?php endif;?>

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

This code also doesn’t show any content…

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

For radio button fields, you’ll need to add ['value'] or ['label'] after the variable to show either the value or label:

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $shopid['value'] ); ?>" class="button">See</a>

For testing, you’ll want to grab the object which will include the values and labels:

<?php

$shopid_obj = get_sub_field_object( 'cat_link' );
var_dump($shopid_obj);

?>

The above will spit out the array of your radio button field so you can see what’s there.
