Actually what is happening is I am creating a new value to save that I think gets saved but then the $_POST['acf'] writes over it with the Post value.
So I think I need way to save the new data and save/update the values after the $_POST['acf']
Does that make more sense.
I was hoping to do this here as I have all the data that I need here.
Anybody have any ideas or where I can look
I found how to do this with jquery
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var strNewString = $('#FIELDID').html().replace(/\Select taxonomy/g,'NEW TEXT');
$('#FIELDID').html(strNewString);
});
Replace the #FIELDID with the field id this is in #acf-field_#####
Replace the NEW TEXT with the text you want to show
I have a custom scrip page but you could add it inside script tags on the page that is loading the form.
I hope this helps someone as I was searching all the wrong places for this.
Hi, Did you ever figure this out. I think I want the same thing.
I have two taxonomies I want them to choose from which but i want to change the wording of the option “select taxonomy” because on a front end form people don’t understand what taxonomy.
I have tried a couple of things
add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘s4f_acf_prepare_taxonomy’); with the function replacing the text but it did not work.
I think it might have to do with a filter similar to this
add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=_post_title', 's4f_acf_prepare_title');
function s4f_acf_prepare_title( $field ) {
$field['label'] = "Goal Name";
if ( $field ) {
return $field;
} else {
exit;
}
I will be back to this and will post if I find a solution
That was great, Thank you very much.
For others, change the taxonomy to the cpt category if needed, and add a comma after the ‘field’ => ‘term_id’ in the array statements and of course change the category id to what you want.
