Okay… so another question if you don’t mind. I’m additionally hoping to display an image assigned to this taxonomy term. The image field was also created by ACF (industry_image) in a separate field group and attached to my taxonomy term “industries.”

// grab the "related industries" terms from the current queried object
$related = get_field('related_industries', $queried_object);

// loop through the returned terms and display the name and image
if ($related) {
  foreach ($related as $term) {
    echo $term->name;
    // what I want to display in addition
    echo $term->[ACF field assigned to this term, 'industry_image']
  }
}

My $related variable above is only including the related_industries field and not the other other custom field, industry_image. Perhaps I need a special query to grab all the custom fields for the current taxonomy term.

Thanks John… worked like a charm. I feel like an idiot, but learning! Much appreciated.

UPDATE: Same settings as above but updated code. Now getting proper list of custom field id’s on my related term, but can’t seem to display the name instead of the ID.

$queried_object = get_queried_object(); 
$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;

// load thumbnail and related industries for this taxonomy term
$thumbnail = get_field('industry_image', $queried_object);
$related = get_field('related_industries', $queried_object);
print '<img src="';
print $thumbnail;
print '" class="industry-page-img" />';
     echo '<ul>';
     foreach ( $related as $term ) {
       echo '<li>' . $term . '</li>';
     }
     echo '</ul>';

The above returns the image as expected, but only displays the proper term ID. I assumed printing the $term->name would display the field name, but it doesn’t.

My real-world application needed repeater fields, so here are repeater fields from a category page:

$current_category = single_cat_title("", false);
$term_id = get_queried_object_id($current_category);

if(get_field('state_links', 'category_' . $term_id))
{
echo '<h2><span>';
echo single_cat_title() . ' FFA Links';
echo '</span></h2>';
echo '<ul id="double" class="state">';
while(has_sub_field('state_links', 'category_' . $term_id))
  {
    echo '<li class="state"><a href="' . get_sub_field('state_link', 'category_' . $term_id) . '" target="_blank">' . get_sub_field('state_link_title', 'category_' . $term_id) . '</a></li>';
  }
  echo '</ul>';
}

Ah, that did it! THANK YOU!

Here was my final code that actually got the current category ID for me:

$current_category = single_cat_title("", false);
$term_id = get_queried_object_id($current_category);
the_field('test_field', 'category_' . $term_id);

I’m sure there’s a more efficient way.

Thank you again!

Thanks for your quick reply. There’s probably something I’m not understanding about $term_id. I have a regular WP post category of “stories-by-state” which has subcategories of each state (alabama, alaska, etc.). I don’t think the fact that I’m retrieving subcategory info has any effect on the outcome.

Given your instruction, I would have something like the folowing:

the_field('test_field', 'alabama_' . $term_id);

or

the_field('test_field', 'alabama_16');

where 16 is the the number I get from the ur:l /wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=16&post_type=post

Neither worked and I”m not 100% sure how to pull $term_id.
