Retrieving fields for category pages

Hi,

So I have a background-image field which takes an image for my posts/pages and category pages. I got the field to work for all three but it’s not returning a value for my category pages.

I’ve read the documentation, and I’ve come up with this:

<?php global $post;
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'category');
$image = get_field('background_image', 'category_' . $term->term_id ); ?> 

It doesn’t work. I need this to be on the header so if background_image exists, it knows to grab that url and apply a background image.

Thanks

Nevermind, the following worked:

<?php 
 
// vars
$queried_object = get_queried_object(); 
$taxonomy = $queried_object->taxonomy;
$term_id = $queried_object->term_id;  
 
// load thumbnail for this taxonomy term
$thumbnail = get_field('background_image', $taxonomy . '_' . $term_id);
 echo $thumbnail;
?>
