How to display Taga belonging to post?

Despite its name, you can actually use the category_display parameter to display any taxonomy.

If you just set it to “true” it will display categories:

[display-posts category_display="true"]

Instead of “true”, you can specify the taxonomy you want to use.

So in your case, you would use:

[display-posts category_display="post_tag"]

Thanks, Bill!

Much appreciate the quick response. It’s very close now and needs a bit of formatting.

We need:

1. For the string: “Posted in:” to be changed to “Themes: ”
2. For the string above to be positioned below the title. The code appears to position the code inline (to the right) of the title… on the same line as the title.

We’d love your advice on the above.
Cheers!

You can customize the string using the category_label parameter. Ex:

[display-posts category_display="post_tag" category_label="Themes: "]

You can use CSS to adjust the styling of the output. Ex:

.display-posts-listing .category-display { display: block; }

Thanks Bill!
Worked like a charm!

Off I go to rate your work/plugin 5 stars. (EDIT: LOL… I had already reviewed) ??

Superb plugin AND support!
Cheers!

Hi Bil,

Not sure if this possible but thought I’d ask. I reviewed the documentation but came empty-handed.

In the list of tags that’s generated, my client is asking if it’s possible to replace the comma character (“,”) separating the tags, with the pipe command “|”?

There’s no shortcode parameter for managing that separator.

If you’re confident that none of the tags will contain a “,” character in their name, you could find/replace the “,” with a “|” in that section with this code in your theme’s functions.php file or a Code Snippets plugin:

add_filter( 
	'display_posts_shortcode_category_display',
	function( $output ) {
		return str_replace( ',', ' |', $output );
} );

A safer option wold be to use that filter to completely rebuild the output.

Thanks Bill.

What do you mean by “A safer option wold be to use that filter to completely rebuild the output.”?

The code above will find/replace any instance of “,” in the text string, not just separators. So if you had a tag called “Hiking, Fishing & Outdoors”, the output on the page would be “Hiking | Fishing & Outdoors”.

Instead of doing the find/replace, you could actually rebuild the entire output using the separator you want. Ex:

add_filter(
'display_posts_shortcode_category_display',
function( $output, $terms, $category_display, $atts ) {

$term_output = [];
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
	$term_output[] = '<a href="' . get_term_link( $term, $category_display ) . '">' . $term->name . '</a>';
}

$category_label = isset( $atts['category_label'] ) ? $atts['category_label'] : 'Posted in: ';

return ' <span class="category-display"><span class="category-display-label">' . $category_label . '</span> ' . implode( ' | ', $term_output ) . '</span>';

}, 10, 4 );

Note: this code is untested, I just wrote it here in the comment. If it doesn’t work, hopefully it gives you the general idea.

I see. I like this approach. Thanks so much. This is very helpful.

Where would I find the original code to compare as I build … to ensure I’m using the correct syntax?

Perfect! Thansks. So appreciated.
I should be good to go.
