    Are you trying to get terms from the results array? This search shows other user posts that fetch data from the array:

    No, I’m trying to get the post_type from $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array(“_sf_s”, “_sft_access_level”, “post_type”,”_sft_topic”));

    You can see it in the image under form_fields/post_type/post_types

    Why are they not formatted in $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array(“_sf_s”, “_sft_access_level”, “post_type”,”_sft_topic”)); as in the other array entries?

    I do not think that method will work. I dump the array using print_r, as you seem to have done, then access the specific array term. Which is what those other users do.

    I’ve done that already, if you look at the bottom code in the original post.

    So what you’re saying is that you can’t access it via $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array(“_sf_s”, “_sft_access_level”, “post_type”,”_sft_topic”)); despite “post_type” being in there?

    There’s not a lot of documentation on it so it’s difficult to know exactly what is to be expected here.
    The https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/accessing-search-data/ page just has examples but doesn’t explain much.

    But I don’t access it using get_fields_html. I do it like this:

    global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(934)->current_query()->get_array();
$my_post_type = $sf_current_query[post_type][active_terms][0][value];

    Ok, so I was right to use get_array() in the first place (excuse the long winded method, it was for debugging purposes).

    The documentation is lacking a little in this regard, so I suggest you clarify the use and differences between get_array() and get_fields_html. The expectation is that if it’s in form_fields you should be able to extract it via get_fields_html into an output string, whereas in you actually need to use get_array() and format the output yourself. In this case we also need to replace a name as well.

    ty.
