[Support request] category tag color

[sg]

Hi Tom, i am trying to change the category color for the category labels under the article.

i did add individual css class but it seems its sharing the div. pls take a look at my site. thanks.

Hi there, have you resolved this issue? I can see each of your category links have a blue background.

[sg]

hi David,

no i am looking at coloring different color for different cat titles.

Aah ok. Your going to need a plugin, something like this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/colorful-categories/

[sg]

Thanks but not a fan of adding plugin, any snippets to share ? i couldnt find ,thanks

[David]

Hi, there isn’t any simple snippets to do this, aside of rewriting all the various templates, it can be done with JS, which is what this plugin uses. As the plugin is only 8kb i think this is the best way to go.

[sg]

thank you.
let me see if i can strip the codes and add into core child team .

[sg]

HI david. i think the plugin save for different purpose. i need it for the front end view css color.

[sg]

it would be perfect if i can add this code into my custom page header

is there any workaround for this ?

{{post_terms.taxonomy}}`

Hi SG, there is this:

https://github.com/stuttter/wp-term-colors

The WP repo one is out of date but still runs on 4.9. Alternatively it looks like it has been forked:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/zerowp-term-colors/

thanks david that look more like it . but how do i use this plugins ?

it says use meta ” ztc_colored_labels( $taxonomy, $post_id = false, $links = false, $limit = false ); ”

just add this line into function file ?

[sg]

i realised i have snippet that blocking the function

if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_entry_meta' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for the categories, tags.
 *
 * @since 1.2.5
 */
function generate_entry_meta() 
{
	$categories = apply_filters( 'generate_show_categories', true );
	$tags = apply_filters( 'generate_show_tags', true );
	$comments = apply_filters( 'generate_show_comments', true );

	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( '', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' ) );
	if ( $categories_list && $categories ) {
		printf( '<div class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</div>',
			_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
			$categories_list
		);
	}

	$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', _x( '', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' ) );
	if ( $tags_list && $tags ) {
		printf( '<div class="tags-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</div>',
			_x( 'Tags', 'Used before tag names.' ,'generatepress' ),
			$tags_list
		);
	}

	if ( ! is_single() && ! post_password_required() && ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) && $comments ) {
		echo '<div class="comments-link">';
		comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '1 Comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '% Comments', 'generatepress' ) );
		echo '</div>';
	}
}
endif;

how do i add the category name as “css class” in above code ?
that will solve my issue i think.
