ACF key in Taxonomy

[CesarDenis]

@airesvsg when I request the URL for my custom term:

/wp-json/wp/v2/{taxonomy}

does not come to acf key in json.

and when I request the URL your endpoints:

/wp-json/acf/v2/term/{taxonomy}/{id}

the acf key appears.

Can you help me?
Tks.

[airesvsg]

Hi @CesarDenis,
your term is public in the rest api?
Thanks

[CesarDenis]

Yes, the term public.

[airesvsg]

Hi @CesarDenis,
Sorry for the delay. You're using the ACF inside the theme directory?

[CesarDenis]

Hi @airesvsg yes, I'm using.

my function.php:

// 1. customize ACF path
function acf_settings_path( $path ) {
    $path = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lib/acf-pro/';
    return $path;
}
add_filter('acf/settings/path', 'acf_settings_path');

// 2. customize ACF dir
function acf_settings_dir( $dir ) {
    $dir = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/lib/acf-pro/';
    return $dir;
}
add_filter('acf/settings/dir', 'acf_settings_dir');

// 3. Hide ACF field group menu item
if (WP_ENV !== 'development') {
    add_filter('acf/settings/show_admin', '__return_false');
}

// 4. Include ACF
include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/lib/acf-pro/acf.php' );

// 5. Init ACF to rest API
add_action( 'rest_api_init', array( 'ACF_To_REST_API', 'init' ), 5 );

[CesarDenis]

@airesvsg You can help me?

[airesvsg]

Yes, I'll fix this bug today.

[CesarDenis]

Oh, tks 😄

[airesvsg]

Hi @CesarDenis,
I'll rewrite the plugin, so this moment I suggest using the snippet bellow.

function rest_prepare_customer( $response, $object ) {
    if ( $object instanceof WP_Term ) {
        $response->data['acf'] = get_fields( $object->taxonomy . '_' . $object->term_id );
    }

    return $response;
}

add_filter( 'rest_prepare_customer', 'rest_prepare_customer', 10, 2 );

Thanks

[CesarDenis]

Tks @airesvsg. Its work. 😄

[akhanukov]

Hi @airesvsg. Thanks for the great plugin. I had a similar issue where I can not see the acf data in the basic WP endpoint for a custom taxonomy. I tried the fix above and it does not work. I thought perhaps the rest_prepare_customer was only applicable to @CesarDenis's needs, and tried several other functions to filter into like rest_prepare_ with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[airesvsg]

Hi @akhanukov,
How you are registering your taxonomy?

Thanks

[akhanukov]

Via my functions.php file from within a child theme:

add_action( 'init', 'akd_response_type_taxonomy', 30 );
  function akd_response_type_taxonomy() {
    $labels = array(
        'name'              => _x( 'Response Types', 'taxonomy general name' ),
        'singular_name'     => _x( 'Response Type', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
        'search_items'      => __( 'Search Response Types' ),
        'all_items'         => __( 'All Response Types' ),
        'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent Response Type' ),
        'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Response Type:' ),
        'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit Response Type' ),
        'update_item'       => __( 'Update Response Type' ),
        'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add New Response Type' ),
        'new_item_name'     => __( 'New Response Type Name' ),
        'menu_name'         => __( 'Response Types' ),
    );
    $args = array(
        'hierarchical'      => false,
        'labels'            => $labels,
      'public'             => true,
      'publicly_queryable' => true,
        'show_ui'           => true,
        'show_admin_column' => true,
        'query_var'         => true,
        'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'response_type' ),
        'show_in_rest'       => true,
        'rest_base'          => 'response_types',
        'rest_controller_class' => 'WP_REST_Terms_Controller',
    );
    register_taxonomy( 'response_type', array( 'message' ), $args );
  }

[akhanukov]

Sorry, still figuring out the Markdown syntax. :)

[airesvsg]

@akhanukov I tested here and it's works. What is your url?

[bradmsmith]

This appears to do it for me using the build-in tags:

function rest_prepare_post_tag( $response, $object ) {
    if ( $object instanceof WP_Term ) {
        $response->data['acf'] = get_fields( $object->taxonomy . '_' . $object->term_id );
    }

    return $response;
}

add_filter( 'rest_prepare_post_tag', 'rest_prepare_post_tag', 10, 2 );

[metinucar]

@akhanukov

I had the same problem but figured out that the value used for rest_base in taxonomy registration should be used when you create the filter. So, please try the following:

function rest_prepare_[rest_base]( $response, $object ) {...}

add_filter( 'rest_prepare_[rest_base]', 'rest_prepare_[rest_base]', 10, 2 );

[akhanukov]

Yikes! I just accidentally found this post searching for more clues on my other issue. Sorry for not responding to your last question @airesvsg. Not sure how I missed it. And thank you @bradmsmith and @metinucar for the solutions! I'm going to try these now. I've been using a workaround for the time being successfully, but this is the right way to do it.

Hi there.
I'm trying to figure out how to use this thread.
I have a custom taxonomy called street.
in it I have a custom field -
This is the url for it -
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v2/term/street/125

If I do a get - I get this data -

{"acf":{"pws_cityid":99}}

If I'm trying to post it back - like updating it - I write-

{"acf_fields":{"pws_cityid": 99}}

But get this repsonse -

{"code":"cant_update_item","message":"Cannot update item","data":{"status":500}}

I wrote this code in function.php

function rest_prepare_street( $response, $object ) {
    if ( $object instanceof WP_Term ) {
        $response->data['acf'] = get_fields( $object->taxonomy . '_' . $object->term_id );
    }

    return $response;
}

add_filter( 'rest_prepare_street', 'rest_prepare_street', 10, 2 );

and this is the code I used for registering the custom taxonomy ( which is inside projects custom post type -

function street_taxonomy() {

	$labels = array(
		'name'                       => _x( 'רחובות', 'Taxonomy General Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'singular_name'              => _x( 'רחוב', 'Taxonomy Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'menu_name'                  => __( 'רחובות', 'text_domain' ),
		'all_items'                  => __( 'כל הרחובות', 'text_domain' ),
		'parent_item'                => __( 'הורה', 'text_domain' ),
		'parent_item_colon'          => __( 'הורה:', 'text_domain' ),
		'new_item_name'              => __( 'הוסף רחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_new_item'               => __( 'הוסף רחוב חדש', 'text_domain' ),
		'edit_item'                  => __( 'ערוך רחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'update_item'                => __( 'עדכן רחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'view_item'                  => __( 'צפה ברחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'הפרד בין רחובות בפסיק', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_or_remove_items'        => __( 'הוסף או הסר רחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'choose_from_most_used'      => __( 'בחר מתוך הרחובות הנפוצים', 'text_domain' ),
		'popular_items'              => __( 'רחובות נפוצים', 'text_domain' ),
		'search_items'               => __( 'חפש רחוב', 'text_domain' ),
		'not_found'                  => __( 'לא נמצא', 'text_domain' ),
		'no_terms'                   => __( 'אין רחובות', 'text_domain' ),
		'items_list'                 => __( 'רשימת רחובות', 'text_domain' ),
		'items_list_navigation'      => __( 'ניווט ברחובות', 'text_domain' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'labels'                     => $labels,
		'hierarchical'               => true,
		'public'                     => true,
		'show_ui'                    => true,
		'show_admin_column'          => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'          => true,
		'show_tagcloud'              => false,
		'show_in_rest'       => true,
  		'rest_base'          => 'street',
  		'rest_controller_class' => 'WP_REST_Terms_Controller',
	);
	register_taxonomy( 'street', array( 'projects' ), $args );

}
add_action( 'init', 'street_taxonomy', 0 );

Why do I get this response?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi @oneguy9,
You must have the permission to edit.
See more details here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/
Thanks.

[oneguy9]

Thanks!
But the thing is that I do have permissions to post.
I do succeed in posting a normal custom field which is not inside a taxonomy.
I still get the same answer over and over -

{
  "code": "cant_update_item",
  "message": "Cannot update item",
  "data": {
    "status": 500
  }
}

I have no idea how to solve this issue -
How do I create this nonce in postman?
Is this the thing i'm missing?

[oneguy9]

I am able to post acf fields, but the only thing I cannot do is post an acf inside a taxonomy. I'm trying here for 3 days to write all the code i can find on the net with no success and my project is dependent on it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Guy

[airesvsg]

Hi @CesarDenis,
Yesterday I released a new version ( 3.0.0-beta ).
Please, check it works for you.
Thanks

[oneguy9]

Hi @airesvsg
I tried installing the v3 but then I didn't get any response from the web site
All I got was a blank page.
I tried changing the path to /v3/ instead of /v2/ but that didn't help at all as well.
I really need your help
This is the only thing that keeps me from publishing the web site.

This is the custom field I'm trying to update -
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v2/term/street/125/pws_cityid

Thanks!!!
Guy

[airesvsg]

Hi @oneguy9,
What was the url you tried with v3?
Thanks

[oneguy9]

@airesvsg
I tried -
/wp-json/acf/v2/term/{taxonomy}/{id}
and also

/wp-json/acf/v3/term/{taxonomy}/{id}

Both ended up in a blank page....

Thanks for your kind help

[airesvsg]

@oneguy9 I changed the endpoint in the v3, now you have to access this way:
/wp-json/acf/v3/{taxonomy}/{id}

More details:
https://github.com/airesvsg/acf-to-rest-api#endpoints

Thanks

[oneguy9]

This URL returns a blank page
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v3/street/125/

And I have this in function.php

add_filter( 'acf/rest_api/key', function( $key, $request, $type ) { return 'acf_fields'; }, 10, 3 );
and this

function rest_prepare_street( $response, $object ) { if ( $object instanceof WP_Term ) { $response->data['acf'] = get_fields( $object->taxonomy . '_' . $object->term_id ); } return $response; } add_filter( 'rest_prepare_street', 'rest_prepare_street', 10, 5 );
Thanks!

[airesvsg]

@oneguy9 please regenerate your permalinks or activate the plugin ACF to REST API.
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v2 ( no rest route )
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v3 ( no rest route )

[oneguy9]

Yeah - I think I installed it incorrectly - I will do now some more tests and return to you with results!
Thanks!!!

[oneguy9]

ok - now the url is working but still I get the same result
http://80.179.140.91/~shlomit/wp-json/acf/v3/street/125/

{"code":"cant_update_item","message":"Cannot update item","data":{"status":500}}

I think I need to write something in function.php for it to work?

Thanks again and sorry for all the trouble...

[airesvsg]

@oneguy9 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/

[oneguy9]

Yeah I've been there...
How can that help me?
I am able to post to all other acf fields but not to the ones inside taxonomies.

[airesvsg]

@oneguy9 all fields are editable.
Please, see my examples: https://github.com/airesvsg/acf-to-rest-api#examples
Thanks

[oneguy9]

I wish I was smarter :(

[airesvsg]

@oneguy9 please send me an email with your doubts, this way we will not lose the focus of this issue.
