WordPress Category list adjustment in links

[Kortschot]

He there…

My PHP skills are not what I would like them to be, so I was wondering If somebody could help me out here.

In the end I need this:

green[category-name-here]

I want to accomplish this with listing the categories from WordPress.

So i.e. I got Categories: Blue, Green and Lovely Pinkish in WP backend, the source will show:

Blue

Green


Lovely Pinkish

What I got is:

cat_name; ?>">

This probably will never work… (due this post ofc) but like I said, PHP… would love to know it better but I don’t atm.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

With Regards,
Paul

this just came to mind….

foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {

echo '
cat_name . '">' . $category->cat_name .'
' ;

}

?>

Can’t test it out atm, does this look like a feasible solution?
Think I’m messing up all the points and apostrophes in the PHP.

no stupid me, that won’t work at all… need “wp_list_categories” for starters…

What are you trying to do?, get categories under a specific post or get categories of your site?

Hi Sahanlak,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a filtering system (Isotope), it filters stuff in a div, whatever you put in it. The div of section has a certain class. When you want to filter stuff you call the class with a link of sorts.

Example:

Lets say we have a bunch of posts in all kinds of categories. The loop would be something like:

 











Not Found

To filter stuff I want a list of my categories. Without WordPress hooks that would look something like:

show all


green


blue


purple


yellow


red

The colors being the categories.

But as you can imagine I would like this to be dynamic, so when a new category is being added in the backend of WP it all will go automatic.

Thanks!
Paul
