Hello

I would like to add a list of categories in the header I have in my blog index page, could you help me with that please?

[sandra.i]

My page is here:

http://www.rochesterclinic.co.uk/news/

I have written some of the categories in, but it would be great if that was dynamic and styled with the right font.

I someone was helped with this issue, but I couldn’t get that code to work, even changing ‘integrity’ to ‘renew’, as I am using the renew stack.

I would be grateful for your help.

Hey there,

The code provided serves only as a guide and not a complete solution. Please follow the suggestion stated in the thread. You’ll need to modify it to make it work on your setup. Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support as this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your customization of it. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. You might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://community.theme.co/custom-development/

Thank you for your understanding.

Further customizations from here would be getting into custom development, which is outside the scope of support we can offer. If you need more in depth changes, you may wish to consult with a developer.

Thanks for understanding.

Ok could I perhaps use the category widget? The widget displays the categories as a long list – could I have that list going across instead, over the width of the page?

Hi There,

Where exactly you have placed the category widget so we can take a look, would you mind providing the URL and pointing it to us?

Thanks

Joao

Hi there,

You can style them according to your requirement. Basically you can use the following example code to list the categories and then modify it according to your requirements.

    $categories = get_categories( array(
      'orderby' => 'name',
      'parent'  => 0
    ) );
    
    foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
        printf( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s</a><br />',
            esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ),
            esc_html( $category->name )
        );
    }

Thanks!

Hi,

You need to put the code in a php fie.

Thanks

ok, so now I have this:

<p class=”mbn” style=”line-height:1.6em;”>MIND-BODY CONNECTION . RECIPES . CELIAC . FOOD SENSITIVITY . JUNK FOOD . WOMEN’S HEALTH . DRUGS . MEDICAL-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX . SUGAR . DIABETES . FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE . BOOKS . USEFUL THINGS .</p>
</div>

Should I change it to this:

<p class=”mbn” style=”line-height:1.6em;”>$categories = get_categories( array(
‘orderby’ => ‘name’,
‘parent’ => 0
) );

foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
printf( ‘%2$s<br />’,
esc_url( get_category_link( $category->term_id ) ),
esc_html( $category->name )
);
}</p>
</div>
