Good afternoon,

Just wondering if theres a simple way to enable the display of categories on the front end within the area that displays tags. Currently I can only get my taxonomy to display if I manually select the taxonomy to display in the list. Otherwise it just shows blank. This is ok except the categories will be removed and added to on occasion and Id prefer the client not have to touch the WP Show Post settings.

I hope Im explaining this correctly.

It’s currently not possible by default, but you may be able to do something like this:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output ) {
	$categories_list = sprintf(
		'%s',
		get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'wp-show-posts' ) )
	);

	return $output . $categories_list;
} );
```

Hey Tom,

Is there a way to remove the comma separator between the categories?

Replace:

get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'wp-show-posts' ) )

With:

get_the_category_list( '' )

At the moment I have:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output ) {
	$categories_list = sprintf(
		'%s',
		get_the_category_list( '' ) 
	);

	return $output . $categories_list;
} );
```
Yet nothing is being affected on the front end. I’m using a CPT if that matters the post type is ‘team’.

Its odd because I could have sworn the list wasnt displaying any categories in the tags without this code now everything is working fine even with the code snippet removed. I just cant get rid of that damned comma!

I’m not seeing any of the terms/categories on that page? Are terms themselves activated?

Sorry I sent you the wrong page. Got confused with my support tickets.

http://janek-dev.flywheelsites.com/team/

Thats the correct one for the tags/categories!

That’s really strange. Any other functions related to WPSP added to the site?

I have a couple of snippets running, but nothing that should prevent modification of the Tags.

I disabled all of them and it still made no difference…

Hmm, what if you do this?:
```
add_filter( 'wpsp_terms_output', function( $output ) {
	$categories_list = sprintf(
		'%s',
		get_the_category_list( '' ) 
	);

	return 'hi!' . $output . $categories_list;
} );
```
Can you see the text hi!?

Yes it does! 😮

I’ve disabled the snippet temporarily. So if you visit the site now it wont show, but it was definitely outputting ‘hi’ in the tag line.
