Title: ACF type changes Last modified: July 18, 2018 --- # ACF type changes * Resolved [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/) * Hi ! I’m French so I apologize if my English is not perfect 😉 In fact, I am using your plugin for my website and I set up some type for my ACF items and your plugin is changing it. For example, I have an ACF called Conferences with a couple of items, as usual it have a name, the author (so me !), a type and the date of publication. But in the json file, the type is no longer “Tuesday” for example but “Conferences”. I’ve searched in every endpoints possible I can’t find my type. I don’t know if it is clear but could you help me please ?

For example, in my test environment I use a Custom Post Type called “yks_ee_events” that I’ve renamed “Events” and I hit the endpoint [http://yikes.test/wp-json/wp/v2/events](http://yikes.test/wp-json/wp/v2/events). * This CPT has custom fields defined by ACF that look like this in the admin: [https://imgur.com/a/4DIyY78](https://imgur.com/a/4DIyY78) * When I hit this endpoint, I see my fields like this: [https://imgur.com/a/gGouTsG](https://imgur.com/a/gGouTsG) * Also, please review this ticket to see if it helps at all: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-meta-callback-null/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-meta-callback-null/). * Hope that helps. * Cheers, Kevin. * P.S.

But I’d like to know if it is possible to reach something which is not in the field like the field type right here : [https://imgur.com/nmVQ8Ce](https://imgur.com/nmVQ8Ce). Thanks for your quick answer. * P.S Thank you 😀 * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505030) * Can you show me how you have set up your fields on our plugin’s page? * A screenshot like this: [https://imgur.com/M3VA7m3](https://imgur.com/M3VA7m3) * Feel free to obfuscate certain items if you feel the data is sensitive. * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505036) * It looks like this [https://imgur.com/LE2YHal](https://imgur.com/LE2YHal) That’s all I have. - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/). * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505082) * So you’re trying to add fields(?) from the post Human Increased to the Conference Endpoint? * What type of post is Human Increased supposed to be? Is it supposed to be a Conference Post? * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505111) * Yes it is a Conference Post and all the information like the date or the author are present on the json page. I also have the field “type” but it’s no longer“ Tuesday October 16th”, it’s “conference”. I don’t understand why * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505135) * Is “Type” a custom field? * I think that the reason your admin area is showing “Type” as “Tuesday October 16th” is because you’re using some type of filter that is _displaying_ the data differently. The post type is still stored as “Conference” in the database but there must be custom code that is displaying a different field (e.g. Tuesday) for the “Type” column. * Another possible explanation is that whatever you defined as “Type” is being overwritten by WordPress’ Post Type. * Can you try renaming your “Type” field? Or perhaps creating a new field that stores the Type column? * Does that make sense? * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505175) * Yeah that makes sense. I think I should create a new field for the Type column. That’s too bad, I’m just an intern I’ll have to ask ahaha. I’ll try this tomorrow and tell you it it’s okay ! * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10505184) * Okay! * It’s also worth noting that I don’t see the Type field in the list of custom fields our plugin gathered (your screenshot – [https://imgur.com/LE2YHal](https://imgur.com/LE2YHal)). * So I don’t know where this Type field is coming from. If it’s a custom field, it should show in that list. (And you should be able to rename it so it doesn’t conflict with WordPress’ standard Type field). * Let me know what you find out tomorrow! * Cheers, Kevin. * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511589) * Hello it’s me again ! Before I try anything useless, I find out what I was looking for. It’s called taxonomies, some kind of keywords ? Do you know if there is a way to get them ? It’s not at the /wp/v2/taxonomies endpoints * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511884) * Hello! Welcome Back! * Taxonomies are _not_ controllable by our plugin and I don’t think they’re easily accessible (by default) through the REST API. This means you’ll need to add custom code in order to add taxonomies to your endpoints. * Here is a simple class that shows how to add all of the terms for a certain taxonomy(`' taxonomy_name'`) to a CPT’s (`cpt_slug`) endpoint. * ``` /** * Add taxonomies to the REST API */ class Customize_REST_API { public function __construct() { // Add taxonomies to our REST API add_action( 'rest_api_init', array( $this, 'add_taxonomies_to_rest_api' ) ); } public function add_taxonomies_to_rest_api() { register_rest_field( 'CPT_SLUG', // CPT slug 'KEY', // this needs to match meta key - this is what will show up as the key in the REST API array( 'get_callback' => array( $this, 'get_taxonomy' ), 'update_callback' => null, 'schema' => null, ) ); } public function get_taxonomy( $object, $field_name, $request ) { // $object['id'] is your CPT's post ID // 'TAXONOMY_SLUG' should be the slug of your taxonomy return wp_get_post_terms( $object['id'], 'TAXONOMY_SLUG' ); } } new Customize_REST_API(); ``` * Cheers, Kevin. * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511894) * Thanks ! Am I supposed to create a file with this code ? Or just add it somewhere specifically ? * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511914) * Well, I don’t know how your site is setup but the easiest way to do it would be to create a file from this code and then require it in your `functions.php` file. The best thing to do would be to add it to your site’s child theme if you’re using one. Alternatively, you could create an MU plugin out of it. * Thread Starter [gabi971](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabi971/) * (@gabi971) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511938) * I think I already saw that code somewhere… and they were talking about the functions. php file too ! But when I looked for it, I found multiple files with the same name… One in wp-include and one in my theme folder… so if I understand well the best thing to do would be to add it in the functions.php file of my site’s theme folder ? Is that it ? * Plugin Contributor [yikesitskevin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yikesitskevin/) * (@yikesitskevin) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-type-changes/#post-10511968) * Yes – the functions.php file in your _theme_. It’s not the best way to add it but it will work.
