Thanks to both of you! Once I echoed the value the citation worked wonderfully. I now have it working as a choose from relationship field and as a selected category…now I have to figure out what’s better from a UX perspective.
Anyways, thanks. I’m very grateful of the support I receive on this forum.
Hi @jeffvls-
This worked great, but only after I had selected “Load value based on the post’s terms and update the post’s terms on save.” I had already set it to grab the term object.
This really is such a blessing. Thanks for your wonderful help. Much appreciation is coming your way!

Well, if you have ideas, please do feel free to throw them out and I’ll provide feedback. I was up late last night trying a few more things, but I wasn’t successful.
Thanks,
~Kyle~
p.s. if I could award you “reputation” points, I would. I appreciate your help.
Wonderful! Thanks.
Hmmm, nope @jeffvls, that didn’t seem to work. But I’ll take what you wrote and try to build off of it.
Thanks!
Weird. Can’t replicate it anymore. Well, I’ll let you know if I can nail it down again.
Hi @elliot-
Yep, I’m only saving the yy because I only need to display the yy on the front-end. So, now that I understand that ACF requires mm/dd/yy, I now need to work out to only display the yy portion of the date. If you have a hint, that’d be great. Otherwise it may just be easier to use a text field.
Thanks
Thanks for the hint on the var dumps, @jeffvls. As for the scope, let me see how I can explain this a bit clearer. So, I’m a doctoral student and I want folks to know what projects I’m working on. To do so, I’ve created a ‘projects’ custom post type. I will be writing posts that are categorized with a category that is similar if not the same title to the project I’m working on. So, I’ve used the taxonomy field to pick the category to attach to the individual project.
There are two things I want from this category relationship:
1) I want to echo the title of the category and then link to the category’s archive of posts;
2) I want to list maybe the last 5 posts from that category
@elliot, does that give you a bit more information as well?
I’m appreciative of any help you can provide.
Well, I’m using the picker provided by ACF (the plugin) if that’s what you mean? I’m not using an additional plugin to ACF for anything at this point.
