Looking for a way to display comma-separated linked categories for posts output by Oxygen‘s Easy Posts component?
Just add the following in the Template PHP wherever you want to show the categories:
<?php echo '<div class="oxy-post-categories">Categories: ' . do_shortcode( "[oxygen data='terms' taxonomy='category' separator=', ']" ) . '</div>'; ?>To NOT show the above when a post has not been assigned manually to any category i.e., it has the default Uncategorized category, change the above to:
<?php
if ( ! in_category( 1 ) ) {
echo '<div class="oxy-post-categories">Categories: ' . do_shortcode( "[oxygen data='terms' taxonomy='category' separator=', ']" ) . '</div>';
}
?>You may want to also add CSS similar to the following to add some space above/below the categories:
.oxy-post-categories {
margin-top: 20px;

Provide a URL of your site/webpage if something is not working.

It works also for woocommerce categories?
You need to replace
taxonomy='category'withtaxonomy='product_cat'.I used Woocommerce -> Oxygen Products List to generate the Shop product list. From there it is not possible to modify the PHP template, how should it be done in this case?
Thanks Sridhar! I’m wondering how I can change the text color of the categories, it seems to only show up as a blue link even when I change the CSS accordingly… I’m trying to display it as a button instead of a link and I want to change the text color to stylize it. Any advice would help!
Can you provide the URL of your site?

Here is a link to the blog page, I positioned the categories within a red button above but the text only appears blue. Thanks!!
Actually, now that I take a look, all the categories are displaying the same as the first one no matter which one it actually is… hmmm.
Can you enable pretty permalinks and let me know when done?
