# Exporting Custom Fields from Taxonomy

 * I’ve got Advanced Custom Fields set up to add custom fields to both my custom
   post type, and a custom taxonomy attached to that.
    The taxonomy custom fields
   are obviously stored in wp_options, is there any way I can refer to these to 
   include these in the export (e.g. Post type is Movie, Taxonomy is Genre, and 
   there are custom fields attached to that for a description of the Genre and the
   biggest movies in that genre).
 * It doesn’t work in the same way as adding Custom fields attached to the post 
   type (using cf_fieldname), is it possible to do this? Or can I only export the
   name of the taxonomy the post is in?
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Hi cfox0807
 * Last time I checked (a while ago), WP CSV did support tags, categories, and custom
   taxonomies. The plugin doesn’t extract any information from wp_options however.
   If you’re sure the key information is stored there, then WP CSV probably won’t
   work for you.
 * Best wishes
