Hi guys!!
I would like to change the code of how categories are showed. I use two parents categories: Location and topic.
I would like to change this php code:
<span class="cat-links"><?php printf(__('Posted in %s', 'sandbox'), get_the_category_list(', ') ) ?></span>
bu other that shows only Location parent category, just putting "Location: ..." and it should show the subcategory of location I chose.
I hope someine understand it.
thanks!!!
I think I basically understand what you're trying to do, though it looks like you've already figured this out? For example, on the post I looked at it had this:
Location: Finland ยป Helsinki
Let me know if you were trying to do something different.

Hi thanks!!
no, that is written in body of the post. I would like to do it where categories are showed (right of the picture), like:
Location: (should be showed the cateogires I choose, that case Finland)
Topic: (should be showed the cateogires I choose, that case Street art)
I would like to modify the code to show those 2 different group of categories. My categories are divided in 2 (topic and location) parents field. I have gone through that and I guess I have to change the function get_the_category_list(', ') , but i havent figured it out.
got it?
thanks!!!
Not a good idea to change 'core code' ... probably should use Template_Tags/get_the_category then display those as you see fit.

Ok, I got it,
but how I select the parent "LOCATION" in this sentences;
<?php the_category( $separator, $parents, $post_id ); ?>
should be:
<?php the_category( ' , ', 'Location'); ?>
it didnt work.
You need to use the id of the Location category, not the name. So if the ID of the Location category is 2, you'd have something like:
<?php $location = get_the_category(' ,', '2', $post->ID);
echo $location; ?>This topic has been closed to new replies.
