    Hi,

    Can you help me use the function get_the_category() for private pages?

    I want to display the category name for instance :

    $categories = get_the_category();
    $category_name = $categories[0]->name;
    echo $category_name;

    Thank you

    Yves

    Hi,

    Yes, this is on our todo list, not sure why we missed to add the categories :p

    For now, this should work (not tested):

    $terms = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'cuar_private_page_category' );
    echo implode($terms, ', ');

    However, I’m just using the standard get_the_terms function with our taxonomy named ‘cuar_private_page_category’.

    Regards.

    Reason: get_the_category is made for ‘posts’ from WP only, no for custom taxonomies, you need to use get_the_terms instead of get_the_category.

    Hi Thomas,

    Ok great, that works fine!

    I got an error on: echo implode($terms, ‘, ‘);

    I changed it for this: $term_name = $terms[0]->name; echo $term_name;

    Thank you so much and keep up the good work with this great plugin!
