Using a category slug as a class

[Dale-Anthony]

Hey,
I’m using a loop from the examples on the docs pages to show a list of events, I’m just wondering if there’s a template tag I can use to display the category slug as a class?

Hey Dale-Anthony. Not sure about this one myself, but let me see if Jonah has any ideas when he hits the forums this morning.

Hi Dale-Anthony, sure, you’d have to use something like wp_get_object_terms for individual posts (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_object_terms) to pull in the events categories and then get the slug for each term to use for the class name. You can use the sample WP provides for an idea or this pastebin example for get_terms for another idea: http://pastebin.com/zz9hfTUQ

Good luck!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, got this working 🙂

Excellent! Thanks Jonah.

Dale-Anthony: as always, let us know what else we can do. Have a great weekend.
