Thank you so much good Sir, got me out of a hole that one, knew I was doing something wrong
yes I did, here is the code I am using.
function change_post_taxonomy_44582( $post_id ) {
if ( empty($_POST['acf']) ) {
return;
}
// get term id from $post_id (only 1 value is allowed, so it returns 1 value only)
$stored_role = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'asproducts_cats');
// get submitted value from acf form
$posted_roles = $_POST['acf']['field_59154e83efb0e'];
// get term_id for the submitted value
$term_id = get_term_by( 'name', $posted_roles, 'asproducts_cats' );
// if stored value is not equal to posted value, then update terms
if ( $stored_role[0] != $posted_roles ) {
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $term_id->term_id, 'asproducts_cats' );
}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'change_post_taxonomy_44582', 20);
Also have a look here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/conditional-logic-using-taxonomy-field/page/4/
A nice chap helped me out with this. Shout if you are still having issues

Thanks for your time, very much appreciated, at least we now have an answer and I learnt something
Am I being dumb, can see the PM?
ok, having read through what you have put several times so its clear in my head I have to left of the : put the id of the term, Ie 36 : Embedded Systems. I made the change above to the code to reflect it as ID and it is still not setting the taxonomy on save. So I am now very much lost, is this the way I defined the custom taxonomy?
they do, I copied them over. Should I be using the : ?
Hi Beee
Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you, got swamped at work then the weekend happened.
My apologies if I come across a bit thick here. I am not very advanced when it comes to WordPress backend devloping, I am learning as I go.
In the ACF radio field I have four product types, i.e. Embedded systems, In the product category I have same. I have not used any kind of number system. Is that what I need to do?

Thanks for the reply Beee. I might be a bit thick here, but I don’t see options on a radio field to return string or ID. Am I missing something?
Hi I am trying to get either of the two above examples to work and seem to be failing> I am not sure what is going wrong. This is the code
function change_post_taxonomy_44582( $post_id ) {
// bail if no ACF data
if ( empty($_POST['acf']) ) {
return;
}
// get term id from $post_id (only 1 value is allowed, so it returns 1 value only)
$stored_role = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'asproducts_cats');
// get submitted value from acf form
$posted_roles = $_POST['acf']['field_59154e83efb0e'];
// get term_id for the submitted value
$term_id = get_term_by( 'name', $posted_roles, 'asproducts_cats' );
// if stored value is not equal to posted value, then update terms
if ( $stored_role != $posted_role ) {
wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $term_id->term_id, 'asproducts_cats' );
}
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'change_post_taxonomy_44582', 20);
Have I done something wrong?
Hi James
Further to my last post, I finally made it work. I tried using the code on that page yesterday, but I must of been tired, because this morning and made it work. There may of been a small amount dancing around the room
(see below)
<ul class="col-md-6">
<?php $i = 0; $j = count( get_field('suppliers_table') );
$repeater = get_field('suppliers_table');
$order = array();
foreach( $repeater as $i => $row ) {
$order[ $i ] = $row['company'];
}
array_multisort( $order, SORT_ASC, $repeater );
if( $repeater ): ?>
<?php foreach( $repeater as $i => $row ): ?>
<li class="supplier_link">
<a href="<?php echo $row['company_url']; ?> "target="_blank"><?php echo $row['company']; ?></a>
</li>
<?php if ( ( $i + 1 ) == ceil($j / 2) ) echo '</ul><ul class="col-md-6">'; ?>
<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
Only been at this fro two days.
I still don’t understand why the function in functions.php is not working. Is there anyway to see if anything is conflicting with it?
Hi James
Thanks for your reply, I did look at this page, It is the key, yet the function is not working. Is there anyway to build a sort into the two column loop I posted?
Sorry i am kind of newbie with php.
Keith
