The Current Term source loads fields from the taxonomy term currently being rendered. This source is primarily used for taxonomy archive templates and dynamic term-based layouts. When selected, the plugin displays only the fields attached to taxonomy terms through ACF or SCF location rules.
For example, if a field group is assigned to Categories, those fields become available while editing:
- category archive templates,
- taxonomy templates,
- or dynamic term-based layouts inside the core Terms Query Loop block.
When an ACF Field block is placed inside a Terms Query block, the plugin automatically resolves fields from the current term iteration. This makes it possible to build dynamic category grids, tag cards, taxonomy listings, and other term-based layouts without additional configuration.
In the PRO version, this source also works inside ACF Term Loop blocks, where nested ACF Field blocks automatically inherit the current term context from each loop item.
This source only appears when the editor has an active taxonomy context available.
