Hi @tjchester,

thank you. I also found this reference in the forum, where you say:
https://www.buddyboss.com/support-forums/topic/home-articles-list-%E3%80%82how-to-add-article-categories/

@play you will need to edit content.php and add something after this line (60):
<?php buddyboss_entry_meta(); ?>
You will need to create your own link and use the WP codex to make your link: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_category

I need to add the categories both inside the post and in the archive page. But how do I add it to the buddyboss_entry_meta ? (which template is responsible for that?) I tried pasting the code in several places inside content.php but it ends up above or under the buddyboss meta (date, author and leave a comment links). Style-wise these need to be the same.

thank you.

i found this :

if ( ! function_exists( 'buddyboss_entry_meta' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for current post: categories, tags, permalink, author, and date.
 *
 * Create your own buddyboss_entry_meta() to override in a child theme.
 *
 * @since BuddyBoss 1.0
 */
function buddyboss_entry_meta() {
	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'buddyboss' ) );

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'buddyboss' ) );

	$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>',
		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() )
	);

	$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'buddyboss' ), get_the_author() ) ),
		get_the_author()
	);

	// Translators: 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '%3$s <span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>', 'buddyboss' );
	} elseif ( $categories_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '%3$s <span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>', 'buddyboss' );
	} else {
		$utility_text = __( '%3$s <span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>', 'buddyboss' );
	}

	printf(
		$utility_text,
		$categories_list,
		$tag_list,
		$date,
		$author
	);
}
endif;

how do I

Create my own buddyboss_entry_meta() to override in a child theme.

to include categories and tags too?

Hi @tjchester.
I did everything you said.

I don’t know what you mean by

Then in functions.php add the buddyboss entry meta code with your newly added code

This is the code <p>Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?></p> I was usin in custom.php. I just added it above <?php buddyboss_entry_meta(); ?>/

Where shall I paste it withing this function?

also-
I am using a custom post type, and added a custom taxonomy for it, using this code

function projects_taxonomy() {
	register_taxonomy(
		'projects_categories',  //The name of the taxonomy. Name should be in slug form (must not contain capital letters or spaces).
		'projects',   		 //post type name
		array(
			'hierarchical' 		=> true,
			'label' 			=> 'community',  //Display name.............

How do I mention it in <p>Posted in <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>? and / or in the custom_buddyboss_meta function?

thank you.

Hi @tjchester,

how do I write

posted on (this date) by (this author) in (this category). add comments

I don’t understand where shall I paste the code inside the custom function, and what to do next. Edit custom.php?
