Looping through custom taxonomy and display custom post types (Custom Post Type UI)

Question

I am using Custom Post Type UI and Custom Fields plugins for the WordPress theme I am creating.

I have created a custom post type of price and I have created a custom taxonomy called price_types using Custom Post Type UI.

On my Prices page I can loop through the built in taxonomy 'Categories' easily using the code below:

$categories = get_terms('category');
foreach( $categories as $category ):
?>
  <section class="pricing">
    <h2><?php echo $category->name; // Print the cat title ?></h2>

  </section>
<?php endforeach; ?>

If I try and do the same for my custom taxonomy even though I have added entries I get nothing?

$categories = get_terms('price_types');
foreach( $categories as $category ):
?>
  <section class="pricing">
    <h2><?php echo $category->name; // Print the cat title ?></h2>

  </section>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Try this, this should retrieve all taxonomies terms including empty ones.

<?php
        $terms = get_terms('price_types',
            array(
                'hide_empty' => false,
                'orderby'    => 'name',
                'order'      => 'ASC'
            )
        );
        echo print_r($terms);
        foreach( $terms as $term ):
    ?>
  <section class="pricing">         
    <h2><?php echo $term->name; ?></h2>
  </section>
<?php endforeach; ?>
