Add category, tag and time data to your WordPress post template

March 1st, 2014

Adding categories, tags and the time a post was posted is all useful stuff to know. Here’s how it’s done…

<?php the_tags('<div class="tags">Tags: ', ', ', '</div>'); ?>

1	<?php the_tags('<div class="tags">Tags: ', ', ', '</div>'); ?>

Returns: Tags: Apples, Pears, Bananas (if you have Apples, Pears and Bananas as tags!!!)

<?php the_category(', '); ?>

1	<?php the_category(', '); ?>

Returns: Tags: Fruit, Vegetables, Meat

<?php the_time('jS M Y'); ?>

1	<?php the_time('jS M Y'); ?>

Returns: 1st Mar 2014
