Showing Taxonomy options on form

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately I didn’t understand your request. Please provide some screenshots or screen record showing what you try to achieve.

Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Konrad, welcome back,

I have a taxonomy associated wit a field group as seen in the 2 images attached. I need to show the taxonomy on the form to add a Family Member field group, but I do not see an option on the create post form.

Add Taxonomy to ACFE form

Regards and thanks

Pete

Hello,

Thanks for the screenshots!

What I see on your screenshot is that the Taxonomy “Gender” has been assigned to the Post Type “Family Members”. There is no taxonomy assigned to a “Field Group”. Remember, a Field Group is a set of fields defined by ACF. On your screenshots, there are none.

If you want to let users select a “Gender” on your ACF Extended front-end form when creating a post, then you’ll have to add an ACF Taxonomy field (see documentation) or an ACFE Taxonomy Terms Field (see documentation) to the Field Group that is used in your Form. Then, you have to select that “Taxonomy field” in the “Post Action > Save > Post Terms” setting in the Form UI.

This is the same logic as the “Post Title” or the “Post Content” which are native WP fields. They have to be created manually in your Field Group (with a Text and Textarea for example), and then assigned in your “Post Action > Save > Title” & “Post Action > Save > Content”.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day!

Regards.

Sorry Konrad, I meant to add the third image, finger trouble I’m afraid. Please have another look.

Hello,

There is no third screenshot in the folder you shared earlier.

If my previous answer is not what you’re trying to do, AKA: display a front-end from to create a “Family Member” post where the user can select a “Gender”. Then, again, please be more descriptive and share screenshots to show what you’re trying to achieve, because it is really hard to understand as of now.

To show you want to do, feel free to draw on your screenshots. Also show where you want to do it (on front-end? on back-end?) etc… Remember, I don’t work on your project so I don’t know what your specs.

Regards.

Konrad,

I’m not sure why you cannot see the third screenshot as it is there (here’s just the third on Field-Groups-?-The-Harrison-Family-—-WordPress.png).

I have the ‘Family Members’ field group, and a custom taxonomy, ‘Genders’ with a field group of Gender Fields which contains a select field for the gender.

In the front end form to create a new Family Member, I need to show the Gender select as well as the other fields from the Family Members (the latter is working fine).

I’d really like to include the Gender select field within the fields of the Family Members, or at the side like it is seen on the backend.

Regards

Pete

I think I need to add both of the field groups to the form? Then I suppose I can render the fields in the order I need.
