Showing category only on content-single.php, not content.php

Hi there,

So you want to show the current categories attached the post being viewed? Where would you want them to display?

Above the title:

Without the folder icon and with the possibility to change the color of the text.

You could try this:

add_action( 'generate_before_content', 'tu_add_post_categories' );
function tu_add_post_categories() {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        $category = get_the_category();
        echo '<div class="entry-meta">' . $category[0]->cat_name . '</div>';
    }
}

I tried that but with that fix the category is showed in every post (without css) in content.php and content-single.php and I only want that in content-single.php, not in home, category sections, etc.

Oops sorry about that - code updated above :)

Hi Tom,

With that code is solved, but the category is showed without any css. I don't want the folder icon, but I still want the same old css for the category word so I think that you have to tweak the code again.

Give it a shot now :)

Thanks :)

No problem :)
