With HUB2’s kind help this solution finally worked! Thanks a ton HUB2!
<?php
$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
$post_id = 'product_cat_'.$term_id;
$custom_field = get_field('custom_category_content', $post_id); // My Advanced Custom Field Variable
?>
<div><?php echo $custom_field; ?> </div> <?php // Get Advanced Custom Field Value ?>
Both tests confirmed it was returning the term ID. The first returned 16 and the second returned:
stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 16 [name] => Clothing [slug] => clothing [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 16 [taxonomy] => product_cat [description] => [parent] => 0 [count] => 12 [filter] => raw )
As for woocommerce support on this particular subject, there isn’t much out there at all, and what I’ve found didn’t work. At the start, it seemed like something I could track down because adding a custom WYSIWYG field above the main woocommerce product loop would allow for a simple way to customize the page content for each product category… but nothing. I even posted the same issue on WooCommerce’s support site and still nothing after 3 days. So strange.
It’s still not showing up. I added the code below to my taxonomy template:
<div>
<?php
$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
$post_id = ‘taxonomy-name_’.$term_id;
the_field('custom_category_content', $post_id);
?>
</div>
I also double checked my custom field location. It’s set to: “Taxonmony Term” is equal to “Product Categories”. Also, do I still need the woocommerce “add_action” function (in my functions file)? IF so, is the one I have correct? So sorry for this… thanks again.
First of all, thank you for the assistance. Am I correct in thinking that this would get placed into the custom taxonomy-product_cat.php file itself:
<?php the_field('custom_category_content','clothing'); ?>
The other question is where do I place the code (show below) that you suggested? In the template file or within the function in the functions file?
$term_id = get_queried_object()->term_id;
$post_id = ‘taxonomy-name_’.$term_id;
