Hi there,
I already replied to your question here.
Hi Hector,
So I”m having a little trouble figuring out how to merge my custom category function into the custom html filter.
I’d like the category of my wpp posts to output the result of this:
function ohd_get_the_category(){
$output = '';
foreach((get_the_category()) as $childcat) {
$parentcat = $childcat->category_parent;
if($childcat->category_parent == 0) echo '';
else echo '<a href="' . get_category_link($parentcat) .'">' .get_cat_name($parentcat) .'</a> ';
}
}
so I’ve been trying a whole host of variations in the filter like this;
// Category option checked
if ($instance['stats_tag']['category']) {
$child_cat = get_the_category($popular->id);
$parent_cat = (isset($childcat->category_parent))
? '<a>term_id) . '">' . $parent_cat->cat_name . '</a>'
: '';
if ($parent_cat != '') {
$stats[] = '<span class="wpp-category">' . sprintf(__('under %s', 'wordpress-popular-posts'), $parent_cat) . '</span>';
}
}
to no avail.
I call it in the output like this:
$output .= "<p class=\"excerpt-category\">" . $parent_cat . "<span><a href="">id ) . "\"> Read <i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-right\"></i></a></span>";
I know I’m missing something but I can’t quite figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
I forgot to backtick
// Category option checked
if ($instance['stats_tag']['category']) {
$child_cat = get_the_category($popular->id);
$parent_cat = (isset($childcat->category_parent))
? '<a href="' . get_category_link($parent_cat->term_id) . '">' . $parent_cat->cat_name . '</a>'
: '';
if ($parent_cat != '') {
$stats[] = '<span class="wpp-category">' . sprintf(__('under %s', 'wordpress-popular-posts'), $parent_cat) . '</span>';
}
}
Hi there!
You used the backticks wrong 😛 I’m asking a moderator to fix it for you (or use pastebin to share the entire code so I can take a better look at it).
Here it is – not so versed in backticks

Your code seems incomplete. Here’s a full example using your category function: http://pastebin.com/Diqk7v5X
Hi,
Yeah sorry – i just pasted the relevant code but it was wrapped in the whole function. The first thing I tried, actually, was just adding my function the way you did
$post_cat = ohd_get_the_category($popular->id); but that didn’t seem to work. How are you calling the category in the output? I only see title, stats, and excerpt.
Thanks!
Shiv
I got it – it’s all in $stats. What you sent works great!! Thanks so much for your help.
Shiv
No problem, I’m glad to help!
