I figured this out. I totally misused the repeater field which caused an unnecessary headache.
Anyway, this is the code I used. It’s a modified version of this code – https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/query-custom-taxonomy-name-and-link-inside-repeater/
Hope this helps someone out.
<?php
// loop through the repeater
if (have_rows('catimg_repeater')) {
while (have_rows('catimg_repeater')) {
the_row();
$term = get_sub_field('choose_category');
$term_link = get_term_link($term);
$image = get_sub_field('choose_image');
$url = $image['url'];
$alt = $image['alt'];
?>
<a href="<?php echo $term_link; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $url ?>" alt="<?php echo $alt ?>" /></a>
<?php
} // end while have rows
}
?>
