Thank you very much both of you @bcworkz @tugbucket ?? for your time and help, I completed the code and it’s working fine. wish you all the best.

here’s the final code for others to use “ Showing Posts of Specific Custom Post Type and Display post name and post taxonomy “:

<?php 
$args = array( 
  'numberposts'		=> -1,
  'post_type'		=> 'custom-post-type',
  'orderby' 		=> 'title',
  'order' 		=> 'ASC',
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'post-type-taxonomy-name',
			'field'    => 'slug',
		),
);
$myposts = get_posts($args);

if($myposts):
	foreach ($myposts as $mypost):
	// get terms
	$terms = get_the_terms( $mypost->ID, 'post-type-taxonomy-name' );
	// showing only first category of post
	$onecategory = $terms[0];
	$category_link = get_category_link($onecategory->term_id);
?>
	<div class="row">
		<div class="col-xs-9"> //trimmed the title to only 20 Characters, you can change it or remove it
	    <a style="color:white;" href="<?php echo get_permalink($mypost->ID); ?>"> <?php  ?> <?php echo $trimmed = mb_strimwidth( get_the_title($mypost->ID), 0, 20, ); ?> - <?php echo $onecategory->name; ?></a>
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php endif; endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

@bcworkz Thank you, I understand so setup_postdata() makes a short pass for ids,

forgive me for saying it incorrectly, yes my custom post type is named: ‘zero’ and its taxonomy name is: ‘zero_categories’ .

so for custom post type taxonomy we should call it by get_the_terms(), I guess its something like this?

<?php 
$args = array( 
  'numberposts'		=> -1,
  'post_type'		=> 'zero',
  'orderby' 		=> 'title',
  'order' 		=> 'ASC',
        array(
			'taxonomy'	=> 'zero_categories',
			'field'		=> 'slug'
   )
);

@tugbucket I tested this code now, and it doesn’t work outputs nothing, can we somehow declare our zero_categories into this array, I renamed zero_categories to the category but it doesn’t work too, apparently each Custom post type must have a specific category name.

Original WordPress post -> category
custom post type work -> custom category name like zero_categories

if we somehow manage to declare zero_categories to loop

Thank you dear @tugbucket, I’ve realized that I named my category when I was making my custom post type like this: zero_categories | is it related to why I cant get category names?

Custom post type name: Zero
Custom post type category name registered as: zero_categories

Sorry for asking too many questions, Thank you.

Thank you for your reply dear @bcworkz, so for post data i should do something like this:

// put above the code
global $post;
// then add this to array
'category' => 0,
// then add this to my loop

 foreach ($myposts as $mypost):
setup_postdata( $mypost ); ?> 

and after that i should echo get_the_category ?

Thanks for the reply dear @tugbucket , I added both codes the code as follows here, but I got not results for the category name only the post title I received in output.

<?php 
// Set the arguments for the query
$args = array( 
  'numberposts'		=> -1, // -1 is for all
  'post_type'		=> 'custom post type name', // or 'post', 'page'
  'orderby' 		=> 'title', // or 'date', 'rand'
  'order' 		=> 'ASC', // or 'DESC'
  // 'category' 		=> $category_id,
  // 'exclude'		=> get_the_ID()
);

// Get the posts
$myposts = get_posts($args);
// If there are posts
if($myposts):
  // Loop the posts
  foreach ($myposts as $mypost):
  $cats = get_the_category($mypost->ID);
	$all_cats = "";
	foreach($cats as $cat){
	$all_cats .= $cat->cat_name ." ";
	}
?>
  <div class="row">
    <!-- Content -->
    <div class="col-xs-9">
      <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($mypost->ID); ?>"> <?php echo get_the_title($mypost->ID); ?> <?php echo get_the_category($mypost->ID)[0]->cat_name; ?></a>
 <?php echo $all_cats; ?>
    </div>
  </div>

  <?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
