Sometimes things that should be easy are hard…
Today, I needed to display an Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) image on a custom taxonomy page. Here’s the solution:
First, create the image field and apply it to the taxonomy like this:
Make sure you have the image field set to output the “Image Array” like this:
Now, go to your taxonomy term and add an image like this:
Finally, copy-and-paste code to your functions.php:
add_action( 'loop_end', 'output_before_taxonomy_loop' );
function output_before_taxonomy_loop(){
if (is_tax()) {
// Display the artist image
$queried_object = get_queried_object();
$taxonomy = $queried_object--->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;
$terms = get_field( 'artist_image', $taxonomy.'_'.$term_id);
if( $terms ) {
echo '<img src="'. $terms['url'] .'">';
} else {
//do nothing
}
}
}
Finally, bask in the glory that is Advanced Custom Fields’ taxonomy image fields!

Ain’t life grand? Well…mostly?

The solution was to write a simple function that checks whether or not we’re currently on a login page, and then add a call to that function in my code. Here’s the…
WooCommerce Product Image Gallery Not Loading with WP Rocket Active
Today I updated a WooCommerce site, and everything worked fine, except for the images on product pages – they were not displaying at all. After a lot of trial & error, I realized that WP Rocket was to blame. I’m not sure exactly what the issue was (though my hunch is that it had to…
