I am trying to display the text of a custom taxonomy field in a taxonomy archive. I want to display the contents of a custom taxonomy field "tax-section-header" at the top of my taxonomy archive layout.

I'm following the documentation at https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-taxonomy-archive. I'm able to display fields like "description," but I don't want to use that field because the description also shows up in my page header.

Is there a way to display a custom taxonomy field on my taxonomy archive? I tried 'info="tax-section-header"' but it didn't display anything (not surprised).

Thank you,
Liat

The Types termmeta field shortcode can be used to display a custom field value on the archive Layout. We have documentation and examples for the termmeta shortcode here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#textfield

[types termmeta="my-text-field"][/types]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for to show this field at the top of my layout.

I got freaked out when I went to look at the documentation and the PHP stuff but when I realized I just had to put that shortcode into my layout with my field slug... no problem!

Thank you for making it so easy for me to make my fields and site work the way I want.
