The title, the permalinks & even the field of ACF do work smoothly. But the code is not reactive to project categories, when I echo wp_list_categories(); it shows the list of message posts only. How do I specify that it should echo project categories instead? Current code:
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'project', 'posts_per_page' => 10);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<ul>';
echo '<li>';the_title(); echo '</li>';
echo '<li>';wp_list_categories(); echo '</li>';
echo '<li>';the_category(); echo '</li>';
echo '<li>';the_field(Prijs); echo '</li>';
echo '</ul>';
endwhile;

- Are you registered any taxonomy for "project" post type? – Chinmoy Kumar Paul Commented Jan 29, 2019 at 14:37
- Nope, I just realized projects is a custom post type from Divi. I'm gonna look into taxonomy now! – L.eroy Commented Jan 29, 2019 at 14:39
- 1 hopefully get_the_term_list will help you. See the codex for more details codex.wordpress/Function_Reference/get_the_term_list – Chinmoy Kumar Paul Commented Jan 29, 2019 at 14:41

Reset to default 0the_category and wp_list_categories are for the category taxonomy term. What most people call a category is most likely a taxonomy. Category is just a default taxonomy for the post post type.
You need to use the general taxonomy functions such as the_terms and get_the_term_list.
echo '<li>'; echo get_the_term_list($post->ID, 'project_category'); echo '</li>';
You will need to change project_category to whatever custom taxonomy name you have used.
