    1. So I created a Taxonomy and added it to a Group field in a custom field, with the Taxonomy Advanced option.
    2. Added the post type to a page.

    The challenge is that when I select a taxonomy option, it doesn't store the value and so the taxonomy options all show 0.

    How do I fix this?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Sorry, I do not understand the issue clearly. Can you please share some screenshots of the issue? And the code that creates the custom fields on your site.

    1. See screenshot for selected taxonomies https://share.cleanshot.com/wk0lZn

    2. As you can see in this second screenshot, the categories count is empty yet selected in the screenshot above https://share.cleanshot.com/vPUWlt

    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thanks, I understand the issue. The field type taxonomy does not work like a normal custom field, it does not save the value in the table wp_postmeta, it sets post terms. So if you want to use this field, please do not add it under a group as a subfield or save the field value to the custom table.

    Or use the field type taxonomy_advanced to set the post meta. Please read more on the documentation

    I used the taxonomy_advanced option, as I mentioned in my initial post. Screenshot-- https://share.cleanshot.com/z78qX8

    I've also cleared cache at both site and server levels.

    Hi,

    As I mentioned above, if you want to set post terms, please use the field type taxonomy. The field type taxonomy_advanced save the post meta like other custom fields, it does not set post terms.
