Genesis Shortcodes on Pages

[danielleB]

I'm assigning categories to pages using the "Add categories to pages" plugin. I'd now like to display these categories the way that the Genesis shortcode allows in posts:

Where I want categories to show up in page.

Category: Aînés et retraités| Culture et patrimoine| Divertissements

How can I do this?

Many thanks in advance

May I ask why you are assigning Categories to pages when Categories already have their own respective pages. Is there a layout of some sort you are looking for?

Hi Anita,

I always use pages in static site design. In this case, I have a members page that I am making searchable using categories. The site is in French, but I think you’ll get the idea here: http://danielleb8.sg-host.com/nos-membres/

What I would like to do is diplay the various categories (linked to the category page) assigned to a specific member on the member page underneath the contact information, as I would be able to do were these posts instead of pages. E.g. Member page: http://danielleb8.sg-host.com/nos-membres/bouffe-pontiac/

I design sites mostly for community and government organizations and find myself using the category plugin on pages very often. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide all the capability afforded to posts. I have been using Genesis since 2011, and love it and its shortcode capability, but it’s falling short on pages unfortunately. I’m not a coder so I depend on this forum to help me out when I’m designing out of the box. I figure some code in the function.php file will do the trick. Or a page.php file? I tried modifying what’s available for post categories in the child’s function file, but of course it didn’t work.

I always wondered why WP didn’t treat pages the same as posts when it comes to categories and tags.
