    "The taxonomy advanced field is very similar to taxonomy field. The only difference is it stores terms’ IDs in the database instead of setting post terms."

    Huh? That's really not a very clear explanation of the difference..

    Is there some further explanation in the documentation, or can you help me understand the difference please?

    Hi,

    The similarity:

    - Both fields display terms to users to select.

    The difference:

    The only difference is how they store selected terms in the database:

    - taxonomy: doesn't store any terms in the post meta. Instead, it sets post terms. Think about it like a replacement of "Category" or "Tag" meta box of WordPress.
    - taxonomy_advanced: store terms' IDs in the post meta and doesn't set post terms.

    Hope it's clear.
