# #_EVENTCATEGORIES

 *  Resolved [beardedbrewer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beardedbrewer/)

 * I had added the #_EVENTCATEGORIES placeholder/shortcode to some tables and widgets..
   etc. It seems to only split out as a list or a bulleted list specifically (maybe
   there are some `<li>` wrappers somewhere?).
 * I use it right next to the #_EVENTTAGS placeholder, which shows as just a comma
   separated list.
 * Here is a code snippet for reference:
 *     ```
              <td>
                     #_EVENTCATEGORIES
               </td>
               <td>
                     #_EVENTTAGS
               </td>
       ```
   
 * Is there a way I make the #_EVENTCATEGORIES placeholder display like the #_EVENTTAGS
   placeholder?
 * Thanks

   php be changed?
