Hi Deon– For most situations you do not have to define “scope”. Piklist will do it automatically for you. Just remove scope from the field:

piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'checkbox'
  ,'field' => 'category'
  ,'label' => 'Categorias'
  ,'description' => 'Terms will appear when they are added to this taxonomy.'
  ,'choices' => piklist(
      get_terms('piklist_demo_type',array(
        'hide_empty' => false
      ))
     ,array(
      'term_id'
      ,'name'
     )
  )
));

@deon– Great! Glad it worked.

This part of the field is telling Piklist to save the data as the term_id, and display the name, which is the way WordPress works (save ID’s).

,array(
      'term_id'
      ,'name'
     )

Here’s how you can display the term name:

$term_id = get_post_meta ($post-> ID, 'category', true); // Get the term ID.

$term_info = get_term_by('id', $term_id, 'category'); // Get the term info.

print_r($term_info); // Display all term info.

@deon– Does this work? (modified code from WordPress codex)

$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'category');
						
if ($terms && !is_wp_error($terms)) : 

  $category_links = array();

  foreach ($terms as $term)
  {
    $category_links[] = $term->name;
  }
						
  $category = join( ", ", $category_links );

  echo $category;

endif;

@deon– I don’t think I understand what you want. Can you send a screenshot or drawing?

Hi Deon,

You should try something like this, it work for me !

$term_ids = get_post_meta($post_id, 'restaurant_cuisine', false); // Get the term IDs

        foreach ($term_ids as $term_id) {
          echo $term_id;
          $term_info = get_term_by('id', $term_id, 'cuisine');
          echo $term_info->name;
        }

I think that the way you want, taxonomy store in post_meta, and you must extract to get that informations.
