List all categories with custom field values?

  • I have created a custom field for my post categories with AFC called “cf_category_img” and I have uploaded images for each category. So how would I go about listing all my post categories on my home page with a custom field value? I would like the list like this:

    <ul>
<li>
VALUE OF A CUSTOM FIELD CALLED "cf_category_img"
<a href="category-url">Name of Category</a>
</li>
</ul>

    Thanks in advance!

  • <?php
$categories = get_categories();
echo '<ul>';
foreach( $categories as $category ) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ); ?>"><?php esc_html( $category->name ); ?></a>
    <p>Image Url: <?php the_field('cf_category_img', $category); ?></p>
<?php
}
echo '</ul>';

    I haven’t run this code but I am sure that it will works.

    Awesome! I’m able to get the custom field value of the image, however, the category url and the category name isn’t showing. Any idea what could be wrong?

    Hi @kazie,

    I forgot to echo the category name and category url. Please find the attached correct code. 

    <?php
$categories = get_categories();
echo '<ul>';
foreach( $categories as $category ) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $category->name ); ?></a>
    <p>Image Url: <?php the_field('cf_category_img', $category); ?></p>
<?php
}
echo '</ul>';
