Hey there,

I am trying to open up a query that gets all subcategories of a certain paren category and displays the content of custom fields, including a category image. Is there a way to retrieve it flawlessly?

Here is what I use for the subcategory query:

<?php $categories =  get_categories('child_of=1&hide_empty=0');
foreach ($categories as $category) : ?>

        <div class="cat_list_item grid_4">
            <a href="<?php get_category_link( $category->term_id ); ?>" title="<?php echo $category->name; ?>">
                <?php echo $category->name; ?>
            </a>
            <h4>
                <span class="caption">
                    <?php echo $category->name; ?>
                </span>
            </h4>
            <p>
                <span class="caption">
                    <?php echo $category->description; ?>
                </span>
            </p>
        </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Is there a way to include my desired custom fields created with ACF?

Thanks in advance :)!
