Show Category BEFORE Post

[delectablychic]

Is there a way to show the primary/parent category of a post ABOVE the actual post (either above the headline/title or just below it) rather or in addition to the "filed under" section at the bottom?  I'd like this to show both on the homepage and in individual posts similar to a site like http://www.theluxelife.com.

You can insert a shortcode for the post meta using Genesis Simple Edits

Braddalton: Simple Edits doesn't move the category link though.  Also, when I tried it, I ended up with an apostrophe before the category.

Here you go

/** Remove the post meta function */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
add_action('genesis_before_post_title','genesis_post_meta')'

Then if you want to edit it:

/** Customize the post meta function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter' );
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
$post_meta = '[post_categories before="Filed Under: "] [post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
return $post_meta;
}}

Surefirebserv: Will this work for the homepage?

Yes, you'll just have to add the conditional is_home() to the action hooks.

Hi surefireweserv:

If I were to use Genesis Simple Hooks, where would I post it?  Or does this go on the CSS?

 

Thanks

Here you go:

add_action('genesis_before_loop','sfws_move_category');
/**
* Move Categories above title.
*
* @author Sure Fire Web Services
* @link http://surefirewebservices.com/?p=1563
*
*/
function sfws_move_category() {
if ( ! is_home() || ! is_front_page() )
return;
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
add_action('genesis_before_post_title','genesis_post_meta');
}

That's just for the homepage. If you want it site wide, just remove the if statement. Simple Hooks may be a bit confusing if you're not sure what you're doing.

Add the code in your functions.php file. Nothing in CSS.

surefirewebserv: It doesn't look like it's working?

Worked on mine.. What widget are you using to display the posts?

Also, you can try to remove the if statement.
if ( ! is_home() || ! is_front_page() )
return;

Hi surefirewebserv,

 

I'm using Feature Widget Amplified.  Should I be switching back to the standard one?

 

Thanks

One more thing: Is it supposed to go in a particular spot in the functions.php file or anywhere at all?

Thanks

Anywhere in functions.php. Featured Widget Amplified uses different hooks and it's a bit more difficult. If you can use the standard one.

I'm not 100% familiar with the widgets hooks.

Another thing: Do I use both codes you gave me (post #24301 and post #24398)? I think I tried using both only to get a white screen of death?

Thanks

Oh, and by the way: I might be switching from Lifestyle to Metro soon, so would using Simple Hooks be better?  I just need to know where to put the code.

 

Thanks
