Use when looping category elements within 'get_all_category_ids'

    Great plugin, exactly what I needed! However, I’ve got it working in archive.php, but can’t get it working in a page. I’m quite new to php so I’m sure the solution is simple, but I’ve wasted enough time trying to work it out, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I want to loop out the link, title and icon for each category. I’ve got the link and title working, but nothing I try outputs the icon. Here’s my code:

    <?php $category_ids = get_all_category_ids();
$args = array(
'orderby' => 'slug',
'parent' => 0
);
$categories = get_categories( $args );
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '"><div><div>';
<strong>* I want to output the icon here *</strong>
echo '<h3>' . $category->name . '</h3></div></div></a>';
}
?>

    Many thanks, Wil

  • This is probably too late, but I had this same issue. What I finally figured out is that the last parameter of the_icon is not looking for a boolean, but is looking for the actual term_ID of your category.

    Here’s my code:

    $categories = get_categories($args);
foreach($categories as $category) {
	$icon = the_icon("size=medium", 'category', $category->cat_ID, $category->term_id);
         echo $icon;
}
