Home › Forums › General Issues › Category List with thumbnails
I am trying to create a page with a list of all blog categories with an image for each category. (Basically a thumbnail grid of all categories)
I created an Advanced Custom Field called “image” for categories.
So far I have this:
<?php
$args = array( 'hide_empty' => '0');
$categories = get_categories($args);
if($categories){
echo '<ul>';
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '<li>';
$size = "thumbnail";
$image = get_field('image', 'category_'.$category->term_id);
echo '<img src="' . $image . '" />';
echo '<span class="cat-title">' . $category->name . '</span>';
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
This does output a list of categories and their images, but I also need each category image to link to the archive page for that category, and I need to get a specific size of the image. I have reached the limits of what my tiny amount of php knowledge can do. 😉

<?php
$args = array( 'hide_empty' => '0');
$categories = get_categories($args);
if($categories){
echo '<ul>';
foreach($categories as $category) {
$link = get_term_link($category);
echo '<li>';
$size = "thumbnail";
$image = get_field('image', 'category_'.$category->term_id);
echo '<img src="' . $image . '" />';
echo '<span class="cat-title"><a href="'.$link.'">' . $category->name . '</a></span>';
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
<?php
$args = array( 'orderby' => 'count', 'order' => 'DESC', 'number'=>2);
$tags = get_tags($args);
if($tags){
echo '<div id="dle-content">';
foreach($tags as $tag) {
$link = get_term_link($tag);
echo '<a href="'.$link.'"> <article class="movie-item movie-item1"> <div class="movie-cols movie-cols1 clearfix"> ';
$size = "thumbnail";
$image = get_field('tag_img', 'tag_'.$tag->term_id);
echo ' <div class="movie-img movie-img1 img-box pseudo-link"> <div class="movie-img-inner"> <i class="fa fa-folder-open" data-link=""></i> </div> <img src="' . $image . '" />';
echo ' </div> <div class="movie-text movie-text1"> <div class="movie-title cardname">' . $tag->name . ' </div> </div> ';
echo ' </div> </article></a>';
}
echo '</div>';
}
?>
thumbnail is not showing
The name of the taxonomy for tags is actually “post_tag” so getting the field could look something like this
$image = get_field('tag_img', 'post_tag_'.$tag->term_id);
however, a lot has changed in 2 years. You could also use
$image = get_field('tag_img', 'term_'.$tag->term_id);
or even
$image = get_field('tag_img', $tag);
