the_category in repeater template

Hi kallekillen,
Try this.

<?php
global $post;
the_category('', '', $post->ID);
?>

Doesn’t work unfortunately! Any other ideas?

Just tested and it’s working in my templates.

Strange, any thoughts on obvious things that could be breaking it my end? Visual composer perhaps or another plugin conflict?

Thanks!

Whats your entire template?

With the inclusion of your snippet above this is what I have:

<div class="portfolio-posts">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?> <?php
global $post;
the_category('', '', $post->ID);
?></a></h3>
</div>

Might be a markup issue.

the_category(); outputs links and you are nesting inside your permalink.

Try

<div class="portfolio-posts">
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php
global $post;
the_category('', '', $post->ID);
?>
</div>

Still nothing, my apologies!

I’ve tried moving it around different positions in the template but to no avail.

Any final thoughts?

So it gets everything correct, other than the_category()?

Only thing I can think of is there actually are not any categories attached to the post.

Should’ve most definitely have told you this earlier but just realised this might affect it myself.

The posts are a custom post type, does this affect the markup for categories (as they’re definitely set up)?

Post type and taxonomy below if helpful:

post_type=portfolio
taxonomy=portfolio_category

Apologies and thanks again for your diligence!

Ok, then you will need to add some custom code to extract and list those taxonomies.

Much appreciated, marked as resolved!

Many thanks
