 * Hello,
 * I just wanted to make a feature request:
 * [Field Category] & [Field Comment_count]
 * While I was able to find a php function to handle the comment count for now, 
   I’m still having trouble manually creating a shortcode for post categories. This
   would be a huge help because I could then delete my functions.
 * Thank You!

 * Also badly want the category shortcode.
 * Don’t understand why that one was opted out.

 * What’s wrong with the shortcodes `[taxonomy category]` and `[comment count]`?
