Category Meta Tag Gone
6 replies · Started by Rey on May 8, 2021
I've been trying to move the location of the category meta tag to generate_before_entry_title. So, here's what I did.
1. Removed categories from default position using the following code:
// Remove categories from default position
add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output','tu_remove_categories' );
function tu_remove_categories( $categories ) {
if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
return '';
}
return $categories;
}The problem is this:
When I removed that code now, the category meta tag is gone. It is enabled in customize settings.

Nevermind. The above issue is now solved. There was a bug in my code when I tried to remove the commas. But here's my issue now. When I tried to use the ff code, it doesn't work.
// Add category link above entry title
add_action( 'generate_before_entry_title','tu_cats_before_title', 15 );
function tu_cats_before_title() {
if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' ) );
if ( $categories_list ) {
printf( '<span class="entry-meta cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span></div>',
_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
$categories_list
);
}
}
}Here's my staging site:

This one is solved already with Tom's post here

Just one last issue:
I want to remove the comma as seen here: https://prnt.sc/12o9usi
This code DIDN'T work
// Remove comma between category
add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output', 'tu_remove_category_commas' );
function tu_remove_category_commas() {
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( ' ' );
return sprintf( '<span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span>', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
esc_html_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
$categories_list
);
}Here's the entire code that I used:
add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output','tu_remove_categories' );
function tu_remove_categories( $categories ) {
if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
return '';
}
return $categories;
}
add_action( 'generate_before_entry_title','tu_cats_above_title' );
function tu_cats_above_title() {
if ( is_home() || is_archive() ) {
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' ) );
if ( $categories_list ) {
printf( '<span class="entry-meta cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span>',
_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
$categories_list
);
}
}
}
// Remove comma between category
add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output', 'tu_remove_category_commas' );
function tu_remove_category_commas() {
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( ' ' );
return sprintf( '<span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span>', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
esc_html_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
$categories_list
);
}Comma is still there.
Hi there,
You can remove the comma by replacing this:
_x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' )
With this:
''
Also, you can achieve this with no PHP at all by disabling the default category post meta and using a Post Meta Template: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-meta-template/
Hope this helps!
You're the best, Sir. Thanks much!
Glad I could help! :)
