Did anything become of the ability to make a shortcode? I tried my had at it but this seems to only work on posts that have a permalink category selected, those that only have one category to begin with don’t work<\/p>\n
\/\/shortcode for primary category\nfunction primary_cat_shortcode($atts) {\n global $post;\n $cat_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID , '_category_permalink', true );\n if ( $cat_id != null ) {\n\t$cat = get_category( $cat_id );\n\t$category_link = get_category_link( $cat_id );\n\t$category_name = $cat->name;\n } else {\n\t$cat = get_the_category();\n\t$category_link = get_category_link( $category->term_id );\n\t$category_name = $cat[0]->cat_name;\n }\n $primary_cat_link= '<a href="'.$category_link.'">'.$category_name.'<\/a>';\n return $primary_cat_link;\n}\nadd_shortcode('primary_cat', 'primary_cat_shortcode');<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-5382519","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/5382519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/5382519\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5382519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
