The genesis post categories shortcode prints all the categories you have assigned to each post in the entry footer on single posts and archives. The function for this is located in genesis > lib > shortcodes > post.php.
add_shortcode( 'post_categories', 'genesis_post_categories_shortcode' );
function genesis_post_categories_shortcode( $atts ) {
<pre><code>$defaults = array(
'sep' => ', ',
'before' => __( 'Filed Under: ', 'genesis' ),
'after' => '',
);
$atts = shortcode_atts( $defaults, $atts, 'post_categories' );
$cats = get_the_category_list( trim( $atts['sep'] ) . ' ' );
//* Do nothing if no cats
if ( ! $cats ) {
return '';
}
if ( genesis_html5() )
$output = sprintf( '<span %s>', genesis_attr( 'entry-categories' ) ) . $atts['before'] . $cats . $atts['after'] . '</span>';
else
$output = '<span class="categories">' . $atts['before'] . $cats . $atts['after'] . '</span>';
return apply_filters( 'genesis_post_categories_shortcode', $output, $atts );
</code></pre>
}The function for the shortcode uses get_the_category_list which is located in wordpress > wp-includes > category-template.php.
