Wondering if anyone knows how to access a custom field from a custom-post category.

I have a font-awesome icon attached to each category and want to display it.

Currently displaying category name:

$categories = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'domain_type' );
foreach( $categories as $category ) {
    echo  '<span class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">'.$category->name.'</span>' ;
}

But want to display icon but can’t get it working:

$categories = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'domain_type' );
$icon = get_field('domain_icon');
foreach( $categories as $category ) {
    echo  '<i class="fa'.$icon.'"></i>' ;
}

Thanks in advance 🙂

Please see the “Getting values from other places” on this page https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_field/. You need to supply the correct $post_id value that matches the category.

$categories = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'domain_type' );
foreach( $categories as $category ) {
    $icon = get_field('domain_icon', $term->taxonomy.'_'.$term->term_id);
    echo  '<i class="fa'.$icon.'"></i>' ;
}
