Any guidance on this would be great, I’ve been wrestling with this for a couple of days and probably doing something obviously wrong.
I have an image field assigned to categories called ‘category_logo’.
I’m trying to display the image on a custom home page template.
I have the image call in a loop for another category “articles” (id 26).
I’m trying to retrieve the image from a child category assigned to the post. The parent is “contributors“ (id 11).
I’m able to retrieve the child category name, but cannot get the image from the custom field.
<?php global $post;
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 8, 'offset'=> 0, 'category' => 26 );
$articleposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $articleposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<h6><?php the_title(); ?></h6>
<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
if (cat_is_ancestor_of(11, $childcat)) {
$childcat_name = $childcat->cat_name;
$cont_badge = get_field('category_logo', $childcat_name);?>
<img src="<?php echo $cont_badge['url'];?>"><?php echo $childcat_name; ?>
<?php }};?>
</a>
<?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata();?>
