Unable to display tax_query

I’m new to ACF and having trouble displaying posts by taxonomy. I’ve been working on this for two days with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve created a field group for real estate properties that has several text fields set up to contain general information: name, address, description, etc. Within it I’ve also created a taxonomy field for “Property Type”. It is set to display by category and return a Term ID. There are two categories: “land” and ‘retail”.

All properties display as they should should on an archive page, but, additionally, I need to be able to display the posts from the categories ‘land’ and ‘retail’ on their own separate pages.

I’ve created a category-retail.php page which I have confirmed is working, but I cannot get it to display the posts from just one property type. The content area displays blank.

Here’s the code:

<?php $args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘properties’,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘taxonomy’ => ‘property_type’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘retail’
),
),
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

<?php the_title();?>
<h2 class=”prop-address”><?php the_field(‘property_address’); ?></h2>
<p class=”prop-description”><?php the_field(‘property_description’); ?></p>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

try adding a $term to your custom field & use get_field instead of the_field

$term = get_queried_object();
$property_adress = get_field('property_adress',$term);
echo $property_adress;

Hey HimSelf, thanks for your help on this.

Sorry, but I don’t know how to add a $term to the custom field. Some of the articles I’ve viewed show a Taxonomy Term option in the Field Type dropdown, but my version of ACF does not have that option (see attached screencapture).

I did notice a ‘Create Terms’ toggle at the bottom of that screenshot, but cannot find documentation on how to use it. Any advice?

Thank you again for your reply. I really appreciate your help.

Yes, I saw that. I must not have used it correctly. If you don’t mind looking at it the current code is below> Thanks again.

<?php $args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘properties’,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘taxonomy’ => ‘property_type’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘retail’
),
),
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

<?php
$term = get_queried_object();
$property_address = get_field(‘property_address’,$term);
echo $property_address;
?>

<?php the_title();?>
<h2 class=”prop-address”><?php the_field(‘property_address’); ?></h2>
<p class=”prop-description”><?php the_field(‘property_description’); ?></p>

<?php endwhile; ?>
