Display Taxonomy Term for CPT on single-CPT.php

Question

I've been having issues with this all morning and need some help.

So I made a custom post type called Equipment, then made a custom taxonomy called Equipment Types. On single-equipment.php I can get it to display the title, content and custom fields associated with the post, but I can't get the Equipment Type selected to display.

I've looked through the get_terms codex, and I can get it to list all the terms for Equipment Type that have posts associated with them, but not the one that was selected for the specific post.

So if I have made a new Equipment post titled "Molo H8500" and the Equipment Type Tax Term is "Speaker", I'm looking to have the single-equipment.php just display Speaker. So for example the page would display:

Title : Molo H8500

Content : The MOLO H8500 speaker is a...

Custom fields : Height: 48" and Widght: 36"

Custom Taxonomy : Equipment Type: Speaker (can't get to display)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The function you want is get_the_terms.

$terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'equipment_type' );
if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
        echo $term->name;
    }
}
