    I’m so sorry. I thought I had gone through all things I could think of to troubleshoot when I had another idea after posting this. It turns out that putting the shortcodes for the categories and tags inside the Tablepress plugin I’m using is causing the issue. I’ll just have to find another way to work around this conflict.

    You can close this thread. I’ve been able to pinpoint the issue.

    Thank you so much bcworkz, that worked beautifully! I was just about to go research how to change the CSS when I decided to check on this post first. I simply changed “echo trim” to “return” and it’s now placing the categories within the post where I’ve placed the shortcode.

    Thank you both so, so much for your help! It’s very appreciated!

    okay… I played around with it some and noticed that what you’re code is doing is placing the categories at the top of the post when I use the shortcode rather than placing the categories in the location where I’ve written [getcats]. So you’re right, it does work, it’s just not placing them where I need them.

    I do appreciate the help. I still cannot seem to get it working. I also managed to get the white screen of death messing around with it last night… lol After that I did some research into how to test these things without the risk and came across a great article on making these additions via your own plugins instead. I turned my other “custom function code” into a plugin instead of placing it into the functions.php and it worked great. (I’m mostly telling this for anyone in the future who comes across this post and encounters a similar problem so they have some solution to go to). Unfortunately the above function is still not working for me.

    Thank you for the help. First, I do have a child theme installed. However, am yes, very new to Genesis, so any tips are much appreciated. I’ve decided to plunge ahead and start learning at least some basic PHP as well, I think it will be needed now that I’ve actually seen how this works. I’m starting out with CodeAcademy and I’ll see where I should go from there I guess.

    I did put the code you provided into my functions.php, but it didn’t work. Where I put the shortcode in my post it was simply blank. (I did double check the post I tested this on and I do have it listed under a category).
