Cannot validate taxonomy field | ww.wp.xz.cn

I want to create an error if the user selects an invalid taxonomy value. (The taxonomy is used for more than one custom post type.) If the user selects a taxonomy value that begins with “featured” I want to display an error and prevent the user from saving the post. I have the return value set to “Term object” and I have tried to put the word ‘Featured” in quotes and without. I can’t figure out how to make this work.

Hello!

You can use the acf/validate_value hook in order to validate the value of any field, which include the native ACF Taxonomy field or the ACFE Taxonomy Terms field.

Note that the $value argument in this hook will be a Term ID so you’ll have to use get_term() (see documentation) to retrieve its actual name and return an error if needed.

Hope it answers your question.

Regards.
