Trouble retrieving a field attached to a taxonomy

OK, I might be thinking about this wrong, but I’m trying to retrieve a field of taxonomy terms that is attached to a different taxonomy.

Let’s say I have a taxonomy called Clients. Each Client can be tagged with regular WordPress tags. I used ACF to add these tags. I called the field “client_tags.”

But when I run “get_field(‘client_tags’, $term->term_id’)” on my Taxonomy.php page template, nothing comes back. I wonder what I am doing wrong. Any help much appreciated.

Thought I figured this out–had to get_terms()–but still trying to figure out how to get the field.

Hi @johngorenfeld

The $term->term_id is not enough for the $post_id to work. Please read this article:
