This tiny WordPress plugin is a wrapper for the_category(). It provides a new function, ju_the_category(), which gives the_category() some comments_number() -like qualities: by submitting different prefixes for cases where the current post belongs to 0, 1 or >1 categories, the user can have more control over the output of the_category().
After installation (just unzip it and drop it in the plugins directory), the usage of ju_the_category() is , where
- zero
- (string) is the text to display when the post does not belong to any categories. The default is an empty string.
- one
- (string) is the text to prefix the category with, when the post belongs to exactly one category. The default is an empty string.
- more
- (string) is the text to prefix the list of categories with, when the post belongs to more than one category. The default is an empty string.
- separator
- (string) Text or character to display between each category link. The default is to place the links in an unordered list.
- parents
- (string) How to display links that reside in child (sub) categories. Options are:
- 'multiple' – Display separate links to parent and child categories, exhibiting “parent/child” relationship.
- 'single' – Display link to child category only, with link text exhibiting “parent/child” relationship.
Note: Default is a link to the child category, with no relationship exhibited.
The last two parameters should function identically to the parameters of the original the_category().
