Hey there awesome Stackoverflow peeps,
I have assigned colors to a custom taxonomy using ACF and I am trying to pull the colors of that tag to the post that I assign them to but I am not sure how to go about it. Can someone share the secret sauce?
Regards
It sounds like you're looking for the ACF get_field function. Documentation on that here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/.
The second parameter is what you'll need to pay attention to. Sounds from the question like this field is on a term of a custom taxonomy? In which case the easiest way is to pass the whole term object there like:
get_field( 'color', $term );
You can use get_field to return the value or the_field to echo it.

i am using CPT UI for custom post type and ACF custom fields.
i have created custom post type (companies) and linked to its custom fields. In admin everything is okay. I want to display this in front end. The user can be enter the company details also. How can i display this in front end ?
<?php
$id = get_the_ID();
$data = get_field('custom_field_name', $id);
echo $data;
?>
Obviously this will need a lot of refinement to look good but that's the basics on how to retrieve data from an ACF field. You may need to var_dump($data); in order to figure out how to get the part you want (if it's not just storing a string). Without more details on what you're doing that's a good an answer as I can give you.
I'm trying to use the the_field(); function in wordpress but did't work
also I tried to use the get_field(); function and same problem what I can do
<?php the_field('contact_form_short_code'); ?>
I am using advanced-custom-fields plugin the free version
the_field('contact_form_short_code') will try to get the field info from the current post in the loop. If you're not currently in a loop it will look to the current page/post.
If you want to reference a post from outside the loop you must specify the post ID, eg: the_field('contact_form_short_code', $post_id)
Hope that helps
Check if your field group location points to your template, taxonomy or custom post type, after that try to use echo to call your field.

If you want to display the shortcode (contact_form_short_code) specified in the admin panel via a custom field (ACF), you need to use the do_shortcode(); function.
In your case, the code looks like this:
<?php
//In the admin panel we fill the shortcode of the contact form, for example CF7.
//[contact-form-7 id="1" title="Form"]
$cform = get_field('contact_form_short_code', $post_id);
//Output of shortcode
echo do_shortcode($cform);?>
I am creating post from frontend. I want to assign custom texonomy term to custom post type from front end. I used wp_set_object_terms code but it is replacing custom previous term.
PLease help me solve out this issue
The Best way to do this, please follow this link
wp_set_post_terms
wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tag, $taxonomy );
I'm just new in wordpress, I just wanted to ask if it's a bad practice if I'll create page template for every custom post types?
I mean if I have CPT [custom post type] with different content, like my first CPT has images, my 2nd cpt has image and text, my last CPT, has slider, text and description.
Because I wanted to create page template for every type of CPT's I have. Is it a bad practice? Or are there efficient and effective ways to do such things?
Your answers are highly appreciated. Thanks!
It's better not to do that, not only because it's a server load, but also because you'll get crazy if you have an issue. Instead, use conditionals in the same page. You can read about it at WP Codex: Conditional Tags : Taxonomies and then pay attention to the is_tax and has_term tags.
This way, you can use is_tag or has_term depending on your approach, like this
if( has_term( 'jazz', 'genre' ) ) {
// do something
}
You can use taxonomy to deal with such problem. Use taxonomy to filter contents according to your requirements. Use register_taxonomy() to register a taxonomy for CPT.
How am I able to show a single term of a custom taxonomy in Wordpress?
I have a custom taxonomy, which will always have only one term in it, and I want to display it in a custom loop on my home page. I have tried all possible ways, with one (blargh, can't remember which one) I managed to display the term but as a link, which I don't want. I need it as regular text, since I want to display it in my own href, which will link to the place where I want to.
Any ideas anyone? All and any help very much appreciated. This issue is slowing down my development of a custom theme. :(
Get the single term object using get_term($term_ID, $taxonomy), or alternatively get_term_by('slug', $term_slug, $taxonomy).
The term object will have, among other properties;
$term->name; // the name of the term!
$term->slug;
$term->term_id;
$term->count; // number of objects using the term
