I have set up a custom taxonomy ‘media-tags’. The terms within ‘media-tags’ have an image added using ACF named ‘term_thumbnail’ (this works). I also am trying to add a class (moduleclass) to each list item with the code below – however it’s not working (any ideas why?). `$moduleclass = get_field('moduleclass');
$types[0] = 'media-tags';
foreach ($types as $type) {
$terms = get_terms($type, array('name_like' => “a”, 'order' => 'ASC', 'orderby' => 'name', 'exclude' => '26') );
if ($terms) {
foreach($terms as $term) {
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('term_thumbnail', 'media-tags_'.$term->term_id.''), 'thumbnail');
echo '<li class=”'.$moduleclass.'”>';
echo '<h2><a href=”/'.$term->slug.'”>'.$term->name.'</a></h2>';
echo '<img src=”'.$image[0].'”/></li>';
}
}
}`
Hi @surfsup74
Is the moduleclass field a field on each term? Or is it a field somewhere else? If so, what is it saved to?
Moduleclass is a field that has been assigned to ‘Taxononmy’ = ‘media-tags’ using the location rules. The field then appears on the ‘Edit Media Tag’ page (the term). So, “yes, it’s field on each term”.
Hi @surfsup74
If the field is specific to the term, then you need to move the code WITHIN your terms loop and also use the $post_id parameter to target the taxonomy term.
You have done this correctly with the ‘term_thumbnail’ field, but for some reason, you have not followed this methodology with the ‘moduleclass’ field
Thanks Elliot.
I’ve moved the $moduleclass = get_field('moduleclass') code inside the loop but am obviously doing something wrong as it’s still not working. Could you give an example of code that you’d expect to work please?
Hi @surfsup74
It isn’t working because you have forgotten to use the second parameter ($post_id).
You have done this correctly for term_thumbnail so I don’t understand why you are having so much trouble for another field.
Is there something else I should know about your code? Did someone else write it?
Thanks

Thanks for your help Elliot. All sorted now.
