The Installation tab of this plugin says to use the following code to display the information from your meta field: if (function_exists('wp_get_terms_meta')) { $MetaValue = wp_get_terms_meta($category_id, $meta_key ,true); //where $category_id is 'category/term id' and $meta_key is 'meta key' } //meta value for meta key $meta_key echo $metaValue; but he misspelled the variable for the echo. It’s supposed to be $MetaValue, not $metaValue. It’s suppose to have a capital M. With that fix it will display properly.

This plugin has proven to be very useful for me, and when I had issues with implementation in my custom theme, I reached out to Aftab, the author, for help. He was kind enough to get back to me promptly and on top of that, he pointed out my error! Thanks, Aftab.
