Show category (%post_category ?)

Hi Clément,

thank you for responding. I could add such a wildcard, but the exact behavior needs to be specified first.

Suppose we have categories:

• Category 1

• Category 1A
• Category 1B

• Category 1B-1

And suppose we have posts:
– Post 1 in Category 1
– Post 2 in Category 1A but not in Category 1
– Post 3 in Category 1A and explicitly also in Category 1
– Post 4 in Category 1B-1 but not in others
– Post 5 in Category 1 and Category 1B-1
– Post 6 in *all* categories

Suppose I display Category 1 Posts (including subcategory posts), and specify usage of %post_category.
What would you expect to see?

Kind regards,
Diana

Hello Diana and thank you for the precise answer.

In your case, the %post_category should be the closest category “child” for the post, such as :

– For Post 1, 1
– For Post 2, 1A
– For Post 3, 1A,
– For Post 4, 1B,
– For Post 5, 1B-1
– for Post 6, 1B-1

That would work for my case : )

Hope I make it clearer.

Kind regard,
Clement

Hi Clément,

I will not be implementing this wildcard directly, but I will allow further extensions of my plugin that can process additional wildcards. Keep an eye out for the next version.

Kind regards,
Diana

Chiming in, is this yet a possibility to add Categories as a wildcard?
