[Solved] Query Loop Post Categories Within Another Loop

[sleeplesskxng]

Above is an image of what I mean. I have a loop of blog posts but within the blog card I want to look through its categories. I know there is a dynamic tag of {post_terms_category} that will output the names and links but I want to create a custom element with the loop. Anyone have an idea?

I made it with PHP but I just cant figure out how to do it with another loop

<?php
$categories = get_the_category();

if ($categories) {
    echo '<ul class="post-cat__wrapper list--none" aria-label="categories">';
    
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
        $category_link = get_category_link($category->term_id);
        $category_name = $category->name;
        
        echo '<li><a href="' . esc_url($category_link) . '">' . esc_html($category_name) . '</a></li>';
    }
    
    echo '</ul>';
}
?>

<?php
function my_cat_grabber() {
$categories = get_the_category();
if ($categories) {
    $html = '<ul class="post-cat__wrapper list--none" aria-label="categories">';
    
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
        $category_link = get_category_link($category->term_id);
        $category_name = $category->name;
        
        $html .= '<li><a href="' . esc_url($category_link) . '">' . esc_html($category_name) . '</a></li>';
    }
    
    $html .= '</ul>';
    return $html;
}
}
?>

I’m writing on spec… you may need to adjust things.

Then have a DIV within the loop, or code, or Basic Text - with:
{echo:my_cat_grabber}

so my php works for my purpose but I was trying to find a way to do the same thing with only a query loop.

You’d add a div in your loop, with the {echo:my_cat_grabber} in it.

There’s no built in - more style-able option as yet.

ended up using this in a video tutorial so I wanted to thank you!
