Categories on post page

I have a few questions about the way categories display on posts.

1. Can the categories show up at the bottom with the tags? Should I make a child theme and alter the post template there? Or is there a better way to do it?

2. When I check off sub-categories on a post, the category that it’s inside shows up in the category list as well, even if it’s not checked off. How do I get only categories/sub-categories I check in the post to show up?

Hi

1. I assume that you’re referring at this categories tags: http://screencast.com/t/YiflVNCtcapK If so they can be moved to the bottom of the post by editing the file corresponding with post template used. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/1y2CEx95i2vZ You can use the child theme to edit post templates, but you will have to check your changes after each theme update to make sure that they don’t break the layout.

2. I am not sure what you mean so please provide more detail about what you’re trying to do, also a screen pointing the desired result would help.

Tanks!

Thanks for your help Andrei. I will create a child theme to edit the post template.

For the second point, this is what I check off under categories when editing the post:

And this is what shows up:

Because “Spectre” is a subcategory of “The Films”, when I check off only the subcategory, the main category also appears. I don’t want the main category to appear. How can I fix this? Other WordPress templates I’ve used don’t do this.

Hi

To achieve that you have to edit td_module_single_base.php file and comment this code: http://screencast.com/t/tc3Gxwd46L4d

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

I just got around to trying this and it worked! Thank you!

Now for another question: How do I add the word “CATEGORIES” at the beginning of the category list like the tags list has?

Hi

You can achieve that by editing td_category_template.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/NKIB4diyL – http://screencast.com/t/Cx9Ga4ZR1UH9

$buffy .= '<li class="entry-category" style="font-size: 13px"> CATEGORY </li>';

Thanks!

Hi Andrei,

I wanted it on the posts page, so I added it to the td_module_single_base.php file instead, and placed the text inside a SPAN.

Thanks!
