# Displaying fields from a Taxonomy term

{% hint style="info" %}
In WordPress, Taxonomy terms can also have custom fields - usually created with ACF, MetaBox, or Pods. Advanced Views allows you to display them.
{% endhint %}

In Advanced Views, [*Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md) embedding happens using native WordPress shortcodes. Each *Layout* has its own unique shortcode that can be pasted into any location, regardless of the theme, editor, or page builder you're using. 

Shortcodes also support arguments, allowing you to customize the behavior of the same entity in different contexts.

## 1. How to display fields of a Taxonomy term

1. [Create a new *Layout*](/advanced-views/getting-started/first-layout.md)
2. Add any fields
3. Save the *Layout*, copy its [embedding shortcode](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md)
4. Add the `object-id="term"` argument
5. Optionally. Add the `term-id="YOUR_ID"`  if you need to display fields of a particular term. If you paste the shortcode on the term template/page, this argument can be omitted.
6. Embed *Layout*: paste the shortcode inside the target place

#### Shortcode format

To load fields from the options page, the *Layout* shortcode should contain at least 3 arguments:

```bbcode
[avf-layout name="Name" id="651d5d75bfdf2" object-id="term" term-id="OPTIONAL_TERM_ID"]
```

1. `name` argument - used for clarification purposes only and doesn't play any functional role. 
2. `id` argument - associates the shortcode with a specific *Layout*.
3. `object-id` argument - with `term` value 
4. `term-id`  argument - specifies the term ID whose fields should be displayed. If you paste the shortcode on the term template/page, this argument can be omitted.

{% hint style="success" %}
You can also use the common [*Layout* shortcode arguments](/advanced-views/layouts/embedding-shortcode.md) to additionally customize this *Layout* embedding, e.g., limiting its visibility for specific user roles.
{% endhint %}
