In WordPress 4.6 get_terms is deprecated. So there is an alternate of this (get_categories) Read this

And here is Example code:

<?php $args = array( 'taxonomy' => 'dining-category', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC' ); $cats = get_categories($args); foreach($cats as $cat) { ?> <a href="<?php echo get_category_link( $cat->term_id ) ?>"> <?php echo $cat->name; ?> </a> <?php } ?> 

Hope this will help you.

 <?php $args = array( 'type' => 'dining', 'child_of' => 0, 'parent' => '', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC', 'hide_empty' => 1, 'hierarchical' => 1, 'taxonomy' => 'dining-category', 'pad_counts' => false ); $categories = get_categories($args); echo '<ul>'; foreach ($categories as $category) { $url = get_term_link($category);?> <li><a href="<?php echo $url;?>"><?php echo $category->name; ?></a></li> <?php } echo '</ul>'; ?> 

If category not assigned any post it will not show. therefore assign any post. This code running perfectly.

<?php $wcatTerms = get_terms( 'category', array('hide_empty' => 0, 'number' => 3, 'order' =>'asc', 'parent' =>0)); foreach($wcatTerms as $wcatTerm) : ?> <small><a href="<?php echo get_term_link( $wcatTerm->slug, $wcatTerm->taxonomy ); ?>"><?php echo $wcatTerm->name; ?></a></small> <?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'order' => 'ASC', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'field' => 'slug', 'terms' => $wcatTerm->slug, ) ), 'posts_per_page' => 1 ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); $imgurl = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( get_the_ID(), 'full' ); $title=get_the_title($post->ID); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?> </a> <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?> <?php endforeach; ?> 

use get_terms() function to fetch custom taxonomy by its slug, in your case slug is dining-category. read function refrence from wordpress codex website and try this.
