Display custom taxonomy terms (of a custom post type) in results template?

  • I have a custom post type made with the custom post type ui plugin called “Food” and I also have a custom taxonomy made for it with the same plugin claled ‘Food type’.

    I have a form setup to search this post type/taxonomy and it is working fine, but I want to display the categories of each post in the result template. Here is what i am trying to do within the uwpqsf_result_tempt function (found here):

    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
	$query->the_post();

	echo '<li class="entry"><a href="'.get_permalink().'">
	<figure><img src="'.get_field('logo').'" alt=""></figure>
	<div class="info">
	<h3 class="name">'.get_the_title().'</h3>
	<p class="summary">
	<strong>Productos</strong>';

	$categories = get_the_category();

	foreach($categories as $category) {
		echo '<span>'.$category->cat_name.'</span>';
	}
	'</p>
	</div>
	</a>
	</li>';
echo '</ul>';

    But the get_the_category() call returns an empty array and doesn’t prints anything. Everything else works fine, it is the categories that don’t show up. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Solved it the following way:

    $postid = get_the_ID();
	$term_list =  wp_get_post_terms($postid, 'food-type', array("fields" => "names"));

	foreach($term_list as $term) {
		echo '<span>'.$term.'</span>';
	}
