How to display a category through WP Show Post

result I want to achieve

Hi, I am using a "Abstract" theme from the library and I would like to display a category along with an icon of my choice (I am planning to use ::before pseudo element) like the above image.

It seems like I need to play around with WP Show post taxonomy? or Meta section in which I expected to see something like "include category name". I am unable to find a solution.

I appreciate the support.

Hi Jun,

I'm not sure I fully understand your request.
The screenshot you linked doesn't look like what you described, could you please be more specific? Thanks!
Let me know!

Hi, sorry I will make it sound simple.

I cannot find an option to display the category name under the image. The screenshot is an UI that I deigned for myself as an example. So I want to know how to display the category name which is assigned to each post which are linked through WP show post (based on the site library -- Abstract --I am using).

Currently, I do not know or I don't seem to have that option such as "include date or author" in the meta section in the WP Show post.

Currently, I do not know or I don’t seem to have that option such as “include date or author” in the meta section in the WP Show post.

That's strange. You may have to re-install WP Show Posts plugin as include date and include author checkbox should be within the UI as shown here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/mXu5LzkJ

or Meta section in which I expected to see something like “include category name”.

On the same screenshot, there's "include terms" that's what you should enable if you want to show the categories.

Thank you Elvin. I can now see! Is it also possible to make them appear on the Latest Work page on Abstract site library (the page that shows the latest posts)?

Wow I did not know about this option. I think I will spend some time to read the documentation first as there are many areas I still haven't touched. Thanks.

No problem :)
