Adding tags, categories in Genesis child theme pages

[Jason Weber]

Does anybody know an efficient way to add categories or tags to a Genesis child theme's pages?

I've searched, but just can't seem to find the right solution.

Thanks!

Thanks Marcy, but that is for standard WordPress themes; it doesn't work for Genesis child themes; there is no single.php, post.php, etc. .... in my case, I'm using Parallax Pro, which isn't too different from any other Genesis child themes.

Post Tags and Categories for Pages

You can create your own custom page template to display categories/tags on your pages.

Here's an example for adding single.php to your Genesis childtheme:

Single.php Post Template File For Genesis

You may want to post a new thread asking how to filter genesis_post_meta to include pages; this function excludes pages.
I get in a loop. But Genesis IS WordPress, so I post that below.

The plugin works fine adding categories and tags to pages. It also adds them to the queries. That's all it does; it's your job to add them to your templates.

The pages should display along with the posts using a normal Genesis category page.

Or you can use a custom template as Kellylise suggests.

If you just want the tags and categories on the bottom of your pages, you can add this to your functions.php:

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'custom_page_post_meta');

function custom_page_post_meta() {
	if ( 'page' === get_post_type() ) {
		$cats = get_the_category_list( $before = '', $sep = ', ', $after = '', $post_id );
		$tags = get_the_tag_list( $before = '', $sep = ', ', $after = '', $post_id );

		if ( $cats || $tags ) {
			echo '<footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"';
			if ($cats) {
				echo '<span class="entry-categories">Filed Under: ' . get_the_category_list( ', ', $post_id ) . '</span>';
			}
			if ($tags) {
				echo '<span class="entry-tags">Tagged With: ' . $tags . '</span>';
			}
			echo '</p></footer>';
}
}
}

Or you can use the wpsites single.php template, as Kellylise suggests. Just add the part between the if ('page'...) brackets.

I left a > out of this line:
echo '<footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta">';
