    I’m totally stuck with the php here, but I hope I’m being pretty clear with what I need and someone will kindly help me!

    I’m using the following category loop to create a schedule for a radio station: 

    <div id="showcatheaders"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/lunchtime_show_title.png" /></div>

            <div id="lunchtimeshows">
<?php
$args=array(
  'orderby' => 'name',
  'order' => 'ASC'
  );
$categories=get_categories('child_of=6');
  foreach($categories as $category) {
    echo '
      <div class="showboxtitle" style="background:url('. $category->description . ') no-repeat;">
      <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" class="nct" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a>
      </div>';
} ?>

    I’m calling up the category description for a background at the moment, but I would like to change that to a category meta called ‘catimg’.

    I also need to display a day & time meta called ‘timeandday’ one line break after the category name within the div class named ‘showboxtitle’.

    I’m totally stuck on how to modify the if (function_exists('get_terms_meta')) { $metaValue = get_terms_meta($category_id, $meta_key); } template into this category loop, so please, please help!

    Theoritically this should work, however in practice, the plugin seems to be corrupt and not work all the time. Try inserting the following somewhere above:

    <?php if (function_exists('get_terms_meta')) {
$category = get_the_category();
$catid = $category[0]->cat_ID;
$catimage = get_terms_meta($catid, 'catimg');
$cattime = get_terms_meta($catid, 'timeandday');
} ?>

    In order to get the timeandday metadata to display as you desire, please add this straight after the div “showboxtitle”

    <br/><p class="timeandday"><?php echo $cattime; ?></p>

    And replace the category description inside the style=””
    with <?php echo $catimg; ?>

    I will try to post an use-case scenario with an example wordpress template to https://www.themesteam.com this week, if you are interested!
