Render Entry Footer Terms

Did you notice how the categories and tags were listed under each post? But for the ones that have a department, those are not showing up. That’s because we need to add the department terms to the Genesis entry footer, i.e. the footer’s post meta.

In this episode, you and I are going to explore the Genesis framework. You’ll learn about the [post_terms] shortcode available to you in Genesis and how to customize its user-defined attributes to add the taxonomy and text before the labels. You’ll learn about the genesis_post_meta filter event too, as you will register a callback and then take a deep dive into its processing.

Here is the department taxonomy term rendered into the entry footer of a post:

	return $post_meta;
