Hey @alchymyth and @yvojolie this is great stuff.
I am trying to insert the “category list” anywhere I want inside the actual content. When I follow your example it posts it before all of the_content.
I followed the answer provided on this forum by @vtxyzzy and it worked well with allowing me to post the_title inside the_content using a shortcode. Here is the code from that forum (I especially enjoy the ability to add html tags before and after!)
function mm_insert_title_func($atts) {
// Insert the post title, with optional before and after strings.
// [mm-insert-title before='<h3>' after='</h3>']
global $post;
extract(shortcode_atts(array('before' => '', 'after' => '' ), $atts));
$output = "{$before}{$post->post_title}{$after}";
return $output;
}
add_shortcode('mm-insert-title', 'mm_insert_title_func');
But trying to hack it together to work with get_the_category_list hasn’t worked yet.
To sum up, I want to be able to place all categories inside my content with the same functionality it usually has everywhere else in wordpress.
