WordPress taxonomy images plugin displaying all terms

I am using taxonomy-images/ WordPress plugin ( href="https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-images/" rel="nofollow
noreferrer">https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/taxonomy-images/)

Target:
I have got a poster taxonomy and I would like to display term name and term image. I
would like to be able to display, retrieve ALL terms in my taxonomy, no matter term name
is empty.

Issue: But if both data are not
entered I can not display the term. I am not managing to correctly make use of
'hide_empty'.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
