displeyed categories in the list

Hi,

It can and it cannot ?? depending on how you are using it.

In pure shortcode usage the plugin doesn’t support this. But you can create a custom template and add necessary code to implement the functionality.

If you switch to using a template, here’s the code that will output a comma separated list of each post’s categories.

//Show post's categories
$categories = array_map( function($cat) { return $cat->name; }, get_the_category() );
$lcp_display_output .= implode( ", ", $categories );

So.. I made a “list-category-posts” folder in the wp-content/themes/my-theme-folder and after I copied the default.php there from the template folder. Actually I copied the templatename.php because before I copied it I renamed it from default.php to templatename.php. Before I copied it into the folder I copied the code what I got from you into the templatename.php file. I think this is what I had to do and I also think it works because the view/style is little bit changed, but still doesnt dislay the categories beside each line. Did I do anything wrong or I missed something? Thank You for your help.

That’s all very good. I assume you also added template=templatename to your shortcode.

Yes, that code was supposed to go into the template file, but the important thing is where you paste it. What interests us here is the part within WP Loop i.e. is responsible for every individual post:

global $post;
while ( have_posts() ):
  the_post();

  //Start a List Item for each post:
  $lcp_display_output .= "<li>";

  //Show the title and link to the post:
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_post_title($post, 'h3', 'lcp_post');

  //Show comments:
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_comments($post);

  //Show date:
  $lcp_display_output .= ' ' . $this->get_date($post);

  //Show date modified:
  $lcp_display_output .= ' ' . $this->get_modified_date($post);

  //Show author
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_author($post);

  //Custom fields:
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_custom_fields($post);

  //Post Thumbnail
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_thumbnail($post);

  /**
   * Post content - Example of how to use tag and class parameters:
   * This will produce:<p class="lcp_content">The content</p>
   */
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_content($post, 'p', 'lcp_content');

  /**
   * Post content - Example of how to use tag and class parameters:
   * This will produce:<div class="lcp_excerpt">The content</div>
   */
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_excerpt($post, 'div', 'lcp_excerpt');

  // Get Posts "More" link:
  $lcp_display_output .= $this->get_posts_morelink($post);

  //Close li tag
  $lcp_display_output .= '</li>';
endwhile;

As you can see there is code responsible for rendering date, author, etc. You need to paste the code I gave you into this section of the template. For instance, if you’d like the categories to be displayed at the very end, put the new code just above

//Close li tag
$lcp_display_output .= '</li>';
