ACF module with a term controller

[thomascharbit]

Using $acf = true on a term controller (for taxonomy term template like taxonomy-$taxonomy.blade.php) is returning the wrong fields for me.

It returns the loop first post fields instead of the actual term fields.
It works correctly if there is no posts in the loop (term with no linked posts).

I guess the issue comes from the use of ACF's get_fields() function, which needs more context to understand we are looking at a term and not a post type?

It looks like passing get_queried_object() as a second parameter fixes it, unsure if this is safe to do!

Hey @thomascharbit yea, that is very much a ACF issue, however, I think in this case it's worth providing more context. I'll test out a get_queried_object() approach for taxonomies.

thanks @darrenjacoby!

I see no problem using get_queried_object() for ACF fields, so I've gone with that approach.

All results seem like what we want in this case, https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_queried_object

Included in next release.

Awesome, thanks again
