Adding fields to a taxonomy term ACF in WordPress
In WordPress, you can use the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plugin to add custom fields to a taxonomy term. Here’s how:
- Install and activate the ACF plugin.
- Create a new field group for your taxonomy term. Go to Custom Fields > Field Groups and click the “Add New” button.
- Select the “Taxonomy Term” as the location for your field group.
- Choose the taxonomy you want to add fields to, and select the term you want the fields to be displayed on.
- Add the fields you want to display by clicking the “Add Field” button.
- Configure the field settings and publish the field group.
<?php get_header(); // get the current taxonomy term $term = get_queried_object(); // vars $imageURL = get_field('imageURL', $term); $colorPick = get_field('colorPick', $term); echo $imageURL['url']; echo $colorPick; ?>
Once the field group is published, the custom fields will be displayed on the edit screen for the selected taxonomy term. You can retrieve the values of these fields using the ACF functions, such as get_field(), in your WordPress theme.
