 * Apologies for the delay in my reply!!!
 * The easiest way to display the certifications is to use this in you custom template:
 * `$entry->getContentBlock( array( 'include' => 'certifications' ) );`
 * Another way to do this would be:
 *     ```
       $block = Content_Blocks::instance()->get( 'certifications' );
       $block->useObject( $entry );
       echo $block->asHTML();
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps!
 * ps. I have not actually tested the above code, but they should work.

 * Thanks for the code, I would try to have only the certification instead of all
   the block content. I understand this is an array and I only need to display the
   name or the description of the certification

 * If you wish to access the data at a more low level point you can use:
 * `$terms = cnRetrieve::entryTerms( $entry->getId(), 'certification' );`
 * `$terms` will be an array of objects.
 * Does that help?

 * Hi, I found a solution but if you have a better way to do this…
 *  $terms = cnRetrieve::entryTerms( $entry->getId(), ‘certification’ );
    $termsid
   = print_r(array_column($terms,’description’), true); echo substr($termsid, 18,-
   2);
 * I’m using your team-grid-card-clean template

 * That looks fine, not sure why you are trimming, but I guess that depends on what
   was added to the description field.

   future update plugin ?

 * Here’s a link to a document that outlines which custom template override files
   can be placed so they will not get overwritten in an update:

 * That is not a valid path. Try:
    - `../connections-templates/block-team-grid-card-clean/card.php`
