[Resolved] How to display an specific value from Taxonomy(Array) using break line separator

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to loop over a set of taxonomy terms and display the value of a custom term field next to the term title.

Solution: Use a View of the taxonomy and insert the wpv-taxonomy-title shortcode to display the title. Use the Types field shortcode to display the custom field value.

<wpv-loop>
  [wpv-taxonomy-title] [types termmeta="your-field-slug"][/types] <br />
</wpv-loop>

Hi,

I'm trying to read an specific value from an Taxonomy to be displayed in a View.

For instance, I've a taxonomy called Categories which has the following categories [category_1, category_2,...,category_n].
I want do display in a view, for example, category_name_4, category_name_5 and category_name_6 with their respectively values (and add break line at the end of each taxonomy value):
category_name_4 True
category_name_5 False
category_name_6 True

Anyone who knows how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi, it sounds like you have created a custom field and applied it to terms in a taxonomy. You would like to display the taxonomy terms and their custom field values in a View of this taxonomy. Is that correct? If so, then you can use the Types field shortcode to display custom field values in the View's loop, and add a line break tag at the end of the line. Here's an example:

<wpv-loop>
  [wpv-taxonomy-title] [types termmeta="your-field-slug"][/types] <br />
</wpv-loop>

You can use the Fields and Views button above the Loop editor to insert this shortcode automatically, or you can write the code manually.
