Hi,
I am currently exploring ACF taxonomies. I have established a Region taxonomy that is linked to the Events custom post type (CPT). I also made a Locations taxonomy that features a custom field output for Region within its field group. At the Events archive template, I want to show “Location (Region)” as one piece of information per each location record. However, I experience an error if I add Region field from the Location taxonomy field group. Is it possible to show taxonomies connected to another taxonomy via an ACF custom field?
I tried using a single Taxonomy with Region as the parent and Location as the child, but it didn’t provide enough control over the output. The issue is that the taxonomy array lists both Region (parent) and Location (child) in alphabetical order, since they are in the same array. So there is no way to show Location and only then Region, if I understood correctly? I need to sort Events by Region taxonomy in other templates, but Location is not a priority for me. That is another reason why I decided to separate Region as a stand-alone taxonomy. However, I still need to have Location as a selectable option for each Region. I also thought about using Select ACF field for Location with a number of available options instead of another taxonomy. It works, but the conditional logic becomes too complex for the end user with over 80 region taxonomies. I am looking for a most simple workaround, hopefully without custom coding.
Selecting ID instead of Term Value in the Location taxonomy field group eliminates the error and displays the numeric ID.
