How do I echo a custom field value in a list of categories? Right now i’m using this;

<?php $kategorier = array(
	'show_option_all'    => '',
	'orderby'            => 'name',
	'order'              => 'ASC',
	'style'              => 'list',
	'show_count'         => 0,
	'hide_empty'         => 0,
	'use_desc_for_title' => 1,
	'child_of'           => 0,
	'feed'               => '',
	'feed_type'          => '',
	'feed_image'         => '',
	'exclude'            => '1',
	'exclude_tree'       => '',
	'include'            => '',
	'hierarchical'       => 1,
	'title_li'           => '',
	'show_option_none'   => __('No categories'),
	'number'             => null,
	'echo'               => 1,
	'depth'              => 0,
	'current_category'   => 0,
	'pad_counts'         => 0,
	'taxonomy'           => 'category',
	'walker'             => null
); ?>

<?php wp_list_categories ( $kategorier ); ?>

And it’s being outputted as….

<li class="cat-item cat-item-x"><a href="category-link">Category Title</a></li>

Which is ruled by “category-template.php” in “wp-includes”.

if ( 'list' == $args['style']){$output .= "\t						<li"; $class = 'cat-item cat-item-' . $category->term_id; if ( !empty($current_category) ) { $_current_category = get_term( $current_category, $category->taxonomy ); if ( $category->term_id == $current_category ) $class .=  ' current-cat'; elseif ( $category->term_id == $_current_category->parent ) $class .=  ' current-cat-parent';}$output .=  ' class="' . $class . '"';$output .= ">
							$link\n";} else {$output .= "\t$link\n";}}function end_el( &$output, $page, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {if ( 'list' != $args['style'] )return;$output .= "							</li>
\n";}}

Now, right after the opening li-element I have to echo the value of a field called “cf_produkter_kategorier_mini_thumb”. How would i go about doing that?

Hi @cashless

Modifying the core WP is not a smart move as it will be overridden by an update.

You should read the docs about using a custom Walker class to output the data you want.

As for actually getting ACF data for a taxonomy term, this is well documented. Please read the docs.
