Displaying Categories and Tags for posts

[gebigoma]

Using the ICON stack, I’d like to display categories and tags as links for all post, so, it would direct users to a results page when a particular cat/tag was clicked. I’m not seeing any shortcodes or functions which would allow for this.

To be clear, I’m looking to add these to a page, not to the post editor.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Could you please try adding the following code into your Child Theme’s functions.php file.

And then head over to Appearance -> Customize -> Blog -> Content and enable Post meta.

// Begin - Add Category and Tags
function x_icon_entry_meta() {

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_date() )
    );
    
     //
    // Categories.
    //

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {
      if ( has_term( '', 'portfolio-category', NULL ) ) {
        $categories        = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'portfolio-category' );
        $separator         = ', ';
        $categories_output = '';
        foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
          $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                              . get_term_link( $category->slug, 'portfolio-category' )
                              . '" title="'
                              . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                              . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon=""></i> '
                              . $category->name
                              . '</a>'
                              . $separator;
        }

        $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
          trim( $categories_output, $separator )
        );
      } else {
        $categories_list = '';
      }
    } else {
      $categories        = get_the_category();
      $separator         = ', ';
      $categories_output = '';
      foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
        $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                            . get_category_link( $category->term_id )
                            . '" title="'
                            . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                            . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon=""></i> '
                            . $category->name
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
        trim( $categories_output, $separator )
      );
    }

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s</p>',
        $date,
        $categories_list
      );
    }

  }

function add_tags(){
     if ( has_tag() ) : ?>
  <footer class="entry-footer cf">
    <?php echo get_the_tag_list(); ?>
  </footer>
<?php endif; 
}
add_action('x_after_view_global__content', 'add_tags');

// End - Add Category and Tags

Hope that helps.
