As we are building a global news page where multiple categories are displayed, we would also like to give them a certain “category mood” via CSS. Therefore, we would like to automatically add “the_category()” (so only the name) to the “ish-recent_posts_post” container as a class, to be able to give each category a distinct styling.

Could you please assist in pointing to the right direction, e.g. a filter/hook or template file in order to get this to work? In the end it should look something like:
<div id="rc-post-4307" class="ish-recent_posts_post the-category-name ish-grid12 ish-color7 ish-text-color7">

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards from Germany!

Sure we can help. What you need to do is override the template of the recent posts shortcode. You can do it this way:

Override shortcode template in a child theme

Then just find where the “ish-recent_posts_post” class is being output and change the code adequately.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I have followed the tutorial from the link provided above. Unfortunately, the plugin’s .php is not overwritten by this.
I have placed the altered file in wp-content/themes/boldial-child/ish-plugins/ishyoboy-shortcodes/assets/backend/vc_extend/shortcodes_templates

We are using a slightly older version of your Boldial Theme (V1.5), so I hope this won’t be a problem.

Well, we strongly recommend updating to the latest version. It is outdated, contains a few security issues and is not compatible with the latest WordPress versions.

Boldial WP v1.6
– New: Shortcode templates can now be overridden in “ish-plugins” folder in child theme
