How display on a Post its taxonomy/categories

  • We have a Custom Post (‘Event’) that has a custom taxonomy/category (‘Venue’) – used for selecting all the events at a Venue.
    How do we display the category on the post?
    [In Admin – it is displayed in the right-hand pane. We need to display it also on the Frontend, formatted nicely]
    It’s 2024 – I had expected to be able to write pseudo-code e.g. “Variable Name: $Variable(s)“
    So far all I’ve found is the need to write bespoke PHP (see example below). Is there a better/simpler way?

    /* see here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/130993/list-taxonomy-terms-in-current-post-current-category/
     * 
     * List the taxonomies and terms for a given post
     * 
     * @param int $post_id
     * @return string
     */
    function get_the_current_tax_terms_wpse( $post_id )
    {
        // get taxonomies for the current post type
        $taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( get_post_type( $post_id ) );

        $html = "";
        foreach ( (array) $taxonomies as $taxonomy) 
        {        
            // get the terms related to the post
            $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, $taxonomy );
            if ( !empty( $terms ) )
            {
                $li = '';        
                foreach ( $terms as $term )
                    $li .= sprintf( '<li><a href="%s">%s</a></li>', 
                                     get_term_link( $term->slug, $taxonomy ),
                                     $term->name );

                 if( ! empty ( $li ) )
                     $html .= sprintf( '<li><ul><li>%s:</li>%s</ul></li>', 
                                        $taxonomy, 
                                        $li );
            }
        }
        return sprintf( '<ul>%s</ul>', $html );
    }
    add_shortcode('test_display','get_the_current_tax_terms_wpse');

    For clarification – our Custom field settings are:
    Label: Venue
    Name: Relationship_venue
    Type: Relationship

    Which theme do you use and which PageBuilder? Depending on this, you can see what options you have here, even without individual programming.

    we have TwentySeventeen theme and Oxygen.

    Hi, you can use below code to display taxonomy/category for each individual post inside posts loop,

    $venue_terms = get_the_terms(get_the_id(), 'Venue');
    if(!empty($venue_terms)){
       foreach($venue_terms as $venue_term){
           echo "<span>".esc_html($venue_term->name)."</span>";
       }
    }

    thank you, I’ll try it if it’s the only option, but I was hoping not to have to learn/use php
