Getting term meta from a taxonomy template page

There are a couple things here to look at:

1) I see that “image” is the name of your taxonomy. Is it also the name of the custom field? The first parameter to get_category_meta should be the name of field as defined in CFS.

2) Internally, get_category_meta() relies on get_queried_object() to determine the relevant term. This may change if your page is doing anything with the global $wp_query object. You could try passing the term directly to the function to make sure this is not the issue:

$term = get_queried_object();
var_dump($term);
$cat_image = get_category_meta('image', $term);
var_dump($cat_image);

Thanks.
My custom field is called ‘image’ and my taxonomy is called ‘base_location’.

Doing:

$term = get_queried_object();
var_dump($term);

outputs everything it should but when doing:

$cat_image = get_category_meta('image', $term);
var_dump($cat_image);

it still only outputs string(0) "".

Ah, got it!
I used get_terms() and then iterated through them and used echo wp_get_attachment_image($cat_image) to output the image from the custom field.

Thanks for your help.

Glad to hear you figured out something that works for your set up. In general practice, I think CFS has a setting where you can either return the attachment id or url from an image field. If you do just get_category_meta() it should simply return an array of all your fields, including the image field.
