Hello

I am trying to display a custom field in the product category loop.

I have this code which displays the box for the field in the correct place, but not the field itself

It displays the field in the actual category instead, which I don’t want.

// Category Extra Title Description in Archives
add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_subcategory_title’, ‘custom_add_product_extratitle’, 12);

function custom_add_product_extratitle () {

$term = get_field(‘alternative_title’);
$othertitle = get_field(‘alternative_title’, $term->taxonomy . ‘_’ . $term->term_id);

// retrieve the existing value(s) for this meta field.

if ( is_product_category() ) {

echo ‘<div class=”extratext”><h2>’.$othertitle.'</h2></div>’;
}

}

This will get the field from the current post and not a term, is this where the tax field is located?

$term = get_field('alternative_title');

I’m assuming yes since you’re using code that indicates you know you need to supply a different $post_id in the next line.

Try this

$othertitle = get_field('alternative_title', 'term_'.$term->term_id);

Almost, it put me in the right direction

// Category Extra Title Description in Archives
add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_subcategory_title’, ‘custom_add_product_extratitle’, 12);

function custom_add_product_extratitle ($category) {
$cat_id = $category->term_id;
$prod_term = get_term($cat_id,’product_cat’);
$term = get_field(‘alternative_title’);
$othertitle = get_field(‘alternative_title’, ‘term_’.$prod_term->term_id);

// retrieve the existing value(s) for this meta field.

echo ‘<div class=”extratext”><h2>’.$othertitle.'</h2></div>’;

}
