   Hi,

   I am confused, I have seen so many 'solutions' to my problem but none of them seems to work for my specific situation. I have a taxonomy called project. Within the loop I am trying to get the link to the taxonomy the post is part of. It works fine with this:

   <?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'project', ' ', ', ', ' ' );?>

   but the problem with this line is that it outputs the taxonomy name with the link wrapped around it. But I want to use this link to wrap around an image that comes from the same post.

   So I don't want a whole list of links or a return of all the posts in that taxonomy or anything. I just want to link to that taxonomy with an image instead of the taxonomy term. The following obviously doesn't work, but what will?

   <a href="<?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'project', ' ', ', ', ' ' );?>"><img src="<?php echo $data[ 'portrait' ]; ?>"/></a>

   I hope anyone can help me.

   J

   still have no solution, please anyone?

   I found this bit of code in the codex and changed it a bit. It outputs ALL the inputs of a taxonomy and with just taking some stuff out it outputs the list of URLs

   <?php $terms = get_terms('project');
   echo '<ul>';
   foreach ($terms as $term) {
       echo get_term_link($term->slug, 'project');
   }
   echo '</ul>';?>

   But it just won't work to change it in a way that only outputs the taxonomy linked to that specific post, putting it this way

   <?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'project', ' ', ', ', ' ' );
   echo '<ul>';
   foreach ($terms as $term) {
       echo get_term_link($term->slug, 'project');
   }
   echo '</ul>';?>

   only results in outputting the same as the first code, no URL but the full link (name+URL). It basically ignores part 2. Then I would think

   echo get_term_link ( $post->ID, 'project', ' ', ', ', ' ' )

   could maybe do it, but that just breaks the page...

   I hope you can help me, can you help me please?

   Ow my god, I jus figured it out thanks to this link

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-taxonomies-getingt-rid-of-link-on-display?replies=13

   Thank you Mark for just explaining a simple basic which I overlooked. Forgot the word 'the'. Now this is the final thing:

   <?php get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'project', ' ', ', ', ' ' );
   foreach ($terms as $term) {
       echo get_term_link($term->slug, 'project');
   };?>

   How obvious!!
