No worries.
Mistakes always happen.
And thank you so much for being patient with me.
Problem solved and case closed. 🙂

Thanks, John.
If you don’t mind, I am going to ask you a dumb question, as I am still learning.
So, a lot of time, I will google for answers related to what I want.
Below is the solution I found after you told me to use “get_terms”.
Instead of showing only the selected categories for the post, it listed every single category I have created. Can you give me some clue why?

$args = array(
  "hide_empty" => false,
  "taxonomy" => "project-category",
);

$terms = get_terms($args);
foreach($terms as $term){
  echo $term->name.", ";
}?>

I hope I am not disturbing you, though.

Hi John,

Thanks for the guidance.
It is working now.
However, I still have a problem showing the category in the slide.
Below is the code I use to call out the category.
I don’t want the category to come with the link, and this is the code.

<p>
<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $category[0]->cat_name;
?>
</p>

Yes, I created the custom taxonomy in ACF too.
Below are the screenshots.
So you can have a brief idea of what I have done.
Thank you.

My apologies.
I checked my codes.
There is a closing quote after ‘posts_per_page’.
I think I mistyped it in the message box.
And yes, the slug is “featured”.
Please see the screenshot below.
Thank you.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.
I am creating and adding the category the normal way, just like when we are in “Posts”. I have a screenshot follow-up below.
