How To Get Color

Hello chathurika0526,

This function only works if a color has been previously assigned to the term, using get_term_meta() or in the backend taxonomy page.

Thank you for your quick reply.I found my mistake.

Hello , i display my categories like this.

<?php

$terms = get_terms( ‘arthra_categories’);

foreach ( $terms as $category ) {
$term_list .= ‘<a class=”col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6″ href=”‘ . esc_url(
get_term_link( $category ) ) . ‘” alt=”‘ . esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘View all post
filed under %s’, ‘my_localization_domain’ ), $category->name ) ) . ‘”>’ .
$category->name . ‘‘;

}
echo $term_list;?>

I think i should put the code get_term_meta($term_id, ‘cc_color’, true); under $terms = get_terms( ‘arthra_categories’);

But then what i will have to do?

Thank you

Hello mula4,

try this:

foreach ( $terms as $category ) {
$color = get_term_meta($category->term_id, 'cc_color', true);

Hello,

i tried but the generated code is the code below.

How can i use the value $color as a background color of the tag?

<a class="col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6" style="background-color: <?php echo $color ?>" ...

P.S. Instead of get_term_meta(..) better to use
ColorfulCategories::getColorForTerm($category->term_id);

The final code that worked is ”

foreach ( $terms as $category ) {
$color = ColorfulCategories::getColorForTerm($category->term_id);
$term_list .= ‘<a class=”col-12 col-md-12 col-lg-6″ style=”background-color: ‘.
$color .'” href=”‘ . esc_url( get_term_link( $category ) ) . ‘” alt=”‘ .
esc_attr(
sprintf( __( ‘View all post filed under %s’, ‘my_localization_domain’ ),
$category->name ) ) . ‘”>’ . $category->name . ‘‘;
}
echo $term_list;?>

thank you very much for your help!

You are welcome
