# Variable previews in custom taxonomy admin

 * Hello,
 * When managing custom taxonomies in the admin, using variables such as %%cf_<field
   >%% do not render in the Yoast preview when saved as they do on custom post types.
 * I’ve seen discussion of the issue
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-variable-is-not-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomy-variable-is-not-working/),
   but I’ve not been able to find a solution.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for reaching out. Though the custom variables are not showing in the preview
   section, can you confirm that the output is working on the frontend of your site?

 * Hello,
 * Yes the output functions properly. I’m investigating the rendering of variables
   on custom taxonomy admin pages specifically.
 * Thanks for your time.

 * Hi,
 * Could you provide us with more details on which variables you are using that 
   aren’t outputting as expected? Do the variables have dashes? (e.g. `%%cf_<custom-
   field-name>%%`)
