How to show categories in blog initial page?

[fernandorui]

I’ve set the initial page as a blog. How I can show the categories of each post near the author and the date?

Thks in advance,

Hi,

This option doesn’t currently exist in the theme, I’ll make a note to Ed though, maybe it can be added in a future update.

Hi Cosmin,

I remember in some post in the theme forest comments area for Flexform, Ed said for other user He could provided spme code to show the categories near the posts. I can’t find it, unfortunatelly.

Is there a chance to provide some guidelines on how I can add this?

Thanks in advance,

Not sure what they discussed, but I’ll try to get Ed in here to help out.

Hi there,

All I provided was some php code:

$post_item .= get_the_category_list(', ');

You’d want to place that where you want in /includes/sf-content-display/sf-post-formats.php . The function that shows the posts is line 197 onwards. If you let us know what blog display type you’re using then I can be more specific.

Hi Ed,

I’m using Display Type ‘Mini’.

BTW, Can I add another div (or something else) just to put the category names inside the comments counter?

Thanks in advance

You could try adding this above line 446:

$post_item .= '<span class="category-list">'.get_the_category_list(', ').'</span>';

You might need to add some css too.

Hi Ed,

Thanks. Worked perfect!

Is it possible to have (with CSS) a box outside the Category name like the Supreme theme?

Thanks,

You could add CSS to have a background around them in the same colour, but not different colours.
