Hi
I have most of the the meta data to display when I create posts using the ALB. I’m missing only one piece – the posts categories.
I found the code block in this ticket: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/selective-meta-items-shown/#post-637003 but I’ve obviously missing the code that would go into the functions.php file. I tried the following code which I copied from the function #2 to display the tags data, but it did not work:
//For categories:
function custom_shortcode_func3() {
ob_start();
echo the_categories(‘‘.__(‘Categories:’,’avia_framework’).’ ‘);
$output = ob_get_clean();
return $output;
}
add_shortcode(‘the_post_categories’, ‘custom_shortcode_func3’);Can you help me please.
Thanks
LyseHey tremblayly,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Did you use the shortcode in a text or code block? https://kriesi.at/support/topic/selective-meta-items-shown/#post-639601
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael,
I used it in a code block with the tags shortcode. All the category shortcode does is echo the shortcode as text.
Thanks
LyseHi,

AndyHi Andy,
I create a shortcode in my functions.php file so in the code block all I need to do is enter the shortcode. That’s what’s not working.
Am I missing something the the shortcode snippet that is causing the shortcode not to work?

Hi,
try to use this code inside your functions.php:
function custom_tags_shorcode() { ob_start(); the_tags('<strong>'.__('Tags:','avia_framework').'</strong> '); $output = ob_get_clean(); return $output; } add_shortcode('the_post_tags', 'custom_tags_shorcode'); function custom_categories_shortcode() { global $post; ob_start(); the_terms( $post->ID, 'category', '<strong>Categories: </strong>', ' , ' ); $output = ob_get_clean(); return $output; } add_shortcode('the_post_categories', 'custom_categories_shortcode'); function add_post_categories_after_post_content() { ?> <?php if(!is_singular()) { ?> <div class='custom-blog-meta'> <?php the_tags('<strong>'.__('Tags:','avia_framework').'</strong> '); ?></div> <?php } ?> <div class='custom-blog-meta'> <?php the_terms( $post->ID, 'category', '<strong>Categories: </strong>', ' , ' ); ?></div> <?php } add_action('ava_after_content', 'add_post_categories_after_post_content', 10, 2);Best regards,
AndyHi Andy,
That code snippet worked but in the code block I use at the end of the blog post to display the tags and categories,
[the_post_tags]
[the_post_categories]the categories don’t start on a new line. How do I get them on a new line. I tried inserting <p> tags but these get ignored.
Thanks
LyseHi,
how about </br> instead?
Would you mind providing a precise link to your site, showing the elements in question? We need to be able to inspect them in order to help :)Best regards,
AndyHi Andy,
After reinstalling the theme and my website on a different domain all displays correctly.
Please close this ticket.
Thank you for your support.
