 * Hi,
 * First of all, you’ve done such a wonderful job.
    Secondly, how can I get the 
   Dynamic Text/Hidden to populate Post Category?
 * Tried with “post_category” & “category”, both not working.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi armanzakariah,
 * Glad you’re enjoying the plugin 🙂
 * There isn’t a built-in way to do this (note that categories are not post data,
   they’re separate terms associated through a separate table)
 * What you could do is use a shortcode to return the data from the wp_get_post_categories
   function – [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_post_categories/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_post_categories/)
 * Hope that helps!
