  Hello,

  How do I display each post’s category in the post meta section (under Author) on the blog page and recent posts?

  Many thanks.

  Hi

  It’s not currently available, you would need to edit the theme files

  Hi Kyle,

  I’m comfortable editing theme files. Any chance you could point me in the right direction?

  Go to atelier/swift-framework/content/sf-post-formats.php, find:

  // DETAILS SETUP
              $item_details = "";
              if ( $single_author && ! $remove_dates ) {
                  $item_details .= '<div class="blog-item-details">' . sprintf( __( 'In %1$s on <time datetime="%2$s">%3$s</time>', 'swiftframework' ), $post_categories, $post_date_str, $post_date ) . '</div>';
              } else if ( ! $remove_dates ) {
                  $item_details .= '<div class="blog-item-details">' . sprintf( __( '<span class="author">By <a href="%2$s" rel="author" itemprop="author">%1$s</a></span> in %3$s on <time datetime="%4$s">%5$s</time>', 'swiftframework' ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ), $post_categories, $post_date_str, $post_date ) . '</div>';
              } else if ( ! $single_author ) {
                  $item_details .= '<div class="blog-item-details">' . sprintf( __( '<span class="author">By <a href="%2$s" rel="author" itemprop="author">%1$s</a></span> in %3$s', 'swiftframework' ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ), $post_categories ) . '</div>';
              }

  Hi Kyle,

  Thanks for your suggestion. I found a better way to display categories which was to copy the sf_get_post_details function from includes/sf-theme-functions.php to the functions.php file in my child theme folder.

  I then edited the copied sf_get_post_details function as follows to get categories to appear in the post meta data.

  REPLACED:

  if ( !$single_author && comments_open() ) {
  $post_details .= ‘<div class=”blog-item-details”><span class=”author”>’ . sprintf( __( ‘By %1$s‘, ‘swiftframework’ ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ) . ‘</span>’;
  if ( $recent_post ) {
  $post_details .= ‘ / <span>’. $comments .'</span>’;
  }
  $post_details .= ‘</div>’;
  } else if ( $single_author && comments_open() ) {
  $post_details .= ‘<div class=”post-item-details”><span>’. $comments .'</span></div>’;
  } else {
  $post_details .= ‘<span class=”author”>’ . sprintf( __( ‘By %1$s‘, ‘swiftframework’ ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ) . ‘</span>’;
  }

  WITH:

  if ( !$single_author && comments_open() ) {
  $post_details .= ‘<div class=”blog-item-details”><span class=”author”>’ . sprintf( __( ‘By %1$s‘, ‘swift framework’ ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ) . ‘ in ‘ . $post_categories . ‘</span>’;
  if ( $recent_post ) {
  $post_details .= ‘<span class=”comments”> / ‘. $comments .'</span>’;
  }
  $post_details .= ‘</div>’;
  } else if ( $single_author && comments_open() ) {
  $post_details .= ‘<div class=”post-item-details”><span>’. $comments .'</span></div>’;
  } else {
  $post_details .= ‘<span class=”author”>’ . sprintf( __( ‘By %1$s‘, ‘swift framework’ ), $post_author, get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( ‘ID’ ) ) ) . ‘ in ‘ . $post_categories . ‘</span>’;
  }
