Hello

Im trying to build a page template on wordpress that will show a list a categories that have a custom field checked.

So the taxonomy is just the default woocommerce taxonomy product_cat I then have a custom field to the product_cat taxonomy which is a check box called collectable

My set up is
Main Category
– Child
– Child
– Child
– Child

So for example 2 children categories have the tick box collectable which is set to add the value of 1 into the datbase

So I am doing a page where it will show all categories with the collectable checked.

$args = array(
‘post-type’ => ‘product’,
‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’,
‘hide_empty’ => 0
);
$c = get_categories($args);
$c_keep = array();
foreach($c as $cat){
if (get_field(‘collectable’, ‘category_’.$cat->term_id)) {
$c_keep[] = $cat;
}
}

foreach($c_keep as $cat){
echo $cat->name;
}

But I am getting nothing at all returned.

I even put a

print_r( $args );

But I am still coming up with a blank (Header and footer Loads and the text above the query)

Can anyone help please

Does $c have any value before you start filtering? Are you getting any categories to begin with?
