I reworked my template a bit, but still see the same error:
<?php get_header(); ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php single_term_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="archive-meta"><?php if ( '' != the_archive_description() ) { echo esc_html( the_archive_description() ); } ?></div>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<article class="post">
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="content">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<p class="excerpt-entry"><?php echo strip_tags( get_the_excerpt() ); ?></p>
</div>
</article>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<h2>Actors</h2>
<?php $get_actors = get_field('actors'); ?>
<?php if( $get_actors ): ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $get_actors as $actors ): ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_term_link( $actors ) ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $actors->name ); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
When I have nothing linked to the taxonomy, the ACF taxonomy data displays (example: https://a.cl.ly/X6uKqWrL).
In the db query, I see the the following:
SELECT t.term_id
FROM wp_terms AS t
INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy AS tt
ON t.term_id = tt.term_id
WHERE tt.taxonomy IN ('actor')
AND t.term_id IN ( 403,404,284 )
ORDER BY t.name ASC
Those term IDs are correct. The full display of DQ queries also looks accurate (example: https://a.cl.ly/WnumRzdq).
I take a single blog post, assign the shows taxonomy for “Broadchurch” for example (example: https://a.cl.ly/6qubm9kN) and save the post. When I refresh the taxonomy archive page, there are no queries at all for ACF, as shown here: https://a.cl.ly/P8u2ZvgJ.
My ACF setup for the field is: https://a.cl.ly/GGu7qZL8 and the location rules are: https://a.cl.ly/8Luq2mdn
I suspect that WP is overriding the ACF query entirely, or somehow preventing it from ever running in this instance where a post has a bunch of terms applied to it, but the term itself also has a term applied to it.
