ACF not writing to taxonomy created by your plugin

  • Hi there,

    I created 2 taxonkmies for testing, one as per standard, and one using your plugin the make one of my post types a taxonomy.

    Both are showing for the relevant psot type.

    I then use Advanced Custom Fields, their “taxonomy” field, to create fields for the post edit screen for both these taxonomies.

    When choosing a taxonomy for each, the standard created taxonomy saves to the post fine, the one created by your plugin does not.

    Is this an issue you are able to fix, or can point me to what I need to do to fix it?

    Thanks.

    On further research, it appears you don’t have the information for your created taxonomy into the database as per a standard taxonomy, and hence ACF can’t read your data. Do you have soem fix, or some custom code that can address this bug in your plugin?

    Hi @deeve007,
    Thank you so much for contacting us and I am sorry to hear that you are having the problem with your plugin.

    Unfortunately, we don’t have the fix for your problem but in case you are a developer and know how to fix it, we would be more than happy to send a gift card to you as a token of appreciation.

    Thanks,

    Not a developer to that level unfortunately, so I’ll be engaging someone to custom script this to work with ACF, but not using your plugin as then it’s superfluous.

    If you did want to address this for your plugin users, so your plugin would work across other plugins that work with taxonomies, it shouldn’t be too hard:
    – when you create a “taxonomy” via your plugin, create an actual taxonomy that mirrors the CPT title.
    – when someone adds/deletes a CPT item, have code that adds/deletes to the mirrored taxonomy you created.
    – when someone deletes that CPT, or unchecks it as a taxonomy, delete the mirrored taxonomy you created.

    I can’t see this being too hard to do.
