    You recently provided me with some PHP code that could be used to provide the post/portfolio header title in the subject field of an e-mail link. See below that was added to the functions.php file. What I also need is to add to that subject field the Parent Category name of that post/portfolio.

    Can you please help

    <?php
function custom_shortcode_func() {
        global $post;
	ob_start();
?>	
		<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=Purchase Enquiry on <?php echo get_the_title($post->ID);?> Painting">Purchase Enquiry</a>
<?php	

	$output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'custom_shortcode_func');
?>

    Hi,

    Please try using the code as following

    function custom_shortcode_func() {
        global $post;

        $category = get_the_category(); 
		$category_parent_id = $category[0]->category_parent;
		if ( $category_parent_id != 0 ) {
    		$category_parent = get_term( $category_parent_id, 'category' );
    		$parent_cat_slug = $category_parent->slug;
		} else {
    		$parent_cat_slug = $category[0]->slug;
		}
		ob_start();
?>	
		<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ?subject=Purchase Enquiry on <?php echo get_the_title($post->ID);?> Painting from <?php echo $parent_cat_slug; ?> category">Purchase Enquiry</a>
<?php	

	$output = ob_get_clean();
    return $output;
}
add_shortcode('my_shortcode', 'custom_shortcode_func');

    Best regards,
    Yigit
