    My S&F is entirely filtering on ACF fields as post meta results.

    I’d like to display the selected search terms, however there seems to be a difference in how to get these vs more standard fields like category.

    For example: 

    global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1526)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_category");

    gives the expected result, but changing the argument in the third line to be a custom field using the name that appears in the url bar(?_sfm_work_type=26-%2C-27&_sfm_industries=14-%2C-15) doesn’t give any results, even though the filter works fine.

    global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1526)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sfm_industries");

    Is there a change in method to get those fields?

    You first need to find out where the data is, and to do so you need to examine the filter array:

    <?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1526)->current_query()->get_array();
echo '<pre>',print_r($sf_current_query,true),'</pre>';
?>

    This will print that array to the screen. From that you would need to use code LIKE this:

    echo $sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]['name']

    This would echo out the first Category term. You will need to write a similar line, for example:

    echo $sf_current_query['_sfm_industries']['active_terms'][0]['name']

    gotcha, thanks.

    If that works for you, is OK to close this thread?
