Hello,
In the announcement of the post I want to indicate the category and subcategory.
How can i do this?

Best Regards
Hi there,
The standard WordPress function to display categories doesn't support this. Perhaps some sort of breadcrumb solution is what you're looking for?
Not sure if you're using Yoast SEO, but it has a breadcrumbs feature. There are also other breadcrumb plugins out there that should give you this sort of control.
Let me know :)
I do not use the plugin Yoast SEO.
As I understand it, this plugin does not solve my question of creating breadcrumbs in this area.
To create breadcrumbs, I use this code. This works very well with the theme GeneratePress.
functions.php
function dimox_breadcrumbs() {
$text['home'] = 'Home';
$text['category'] = '%s';
$text['search'] = 'Search "%s"';
$text['tag'] = 'Tag "%s"';
$text['author'] = 'Author %s';
$text['404'] = 'Error 404';
$text['page'] = 'Page %s';
$text['cpage'] = 'Comment %s';
$wrap_before = '<div class="breadcrumbs" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList">';
$wrap_after = '</div><!-- .breadcrumbs -->';
$sep = '<span class="breadcrumbs__separator"> › </span>';
$before = '<span class="breadcrumbs__current">';
$after = '</span>';
$show_on_home = 0;
$show_home_link = 1;
$show_current = 1;
$show_last_sep = 1;
global $post;
$home_url = home_url('/');
$link = '<span itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem">';
$link .= '<a class="breadcrumbs__link" href="%1$s" itemprop="item"><span itemprop="name">%2$s</span></a>';
$link .= '<meta itemprop="position" content="%3$s" />';
$link .= '</span>';
$parent_id = ( $post ) ? $post->post_parent : '';
$home_link = sprintf( $link, $home_url, $text['home'], 1 );
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
if ( $show_on_home ) echo $wrap_before . $home_link . $wrap_after;

The issue has been resolved. That's my fault. Thank you!
Glad you found a solution! :)
