Display a custom field of current taxonomy on taxonomy page


I have a custom taxonomy called Books with 2 custom taxonomy fields. One is called book_tagline and other called book_short_desc

So for example If I have a Books Category like School Books and the 2 custom fields contains values as

book_tagline = 12th grade all school books book_short_desc = we have all 12th grade school books...

On the Books Category page I would like to display the above 2 custom fields

Here is my code but its not displaying the values

$termcat = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy') );
$icat_id = $termcat->term_id;
$icat_tag = get_term_meta($icat_id, '_pc_ccat_tagline');
 $icat_desc = get_term_meta($icat_id, '_pc_ccat_desc');

The above code is not inside a loop. But the code is in the taxonomy-books template page

Thanks


Solution

  • Try below code

    $pc_ccat_tagline = get_term_meta( get_queried_object_id(), '_pc_ccat_tagline', true);
    
    $pc_ccat_desc = get_term_meta( get_queried_object_id(), '_pc_ccat_desc', true);
    

    Do not forget to do echo.

    If this code does not work than just pass true in your code

    $icat_desc = get_term_meta($icat_id, '_pc_ccat_desc',true);
