I have a page here:

hidden link - Password: Europa-808

As you can see the category names under 'choose a module' are coloured. This is done using a color-picker added to the category and then inline CSS.

However, I cant think of a way to do this for the 3 products above it. These have a category term list using the following code:

[wpv-post-taxonomy type="download_category" format="name" separator=" / "]

As this displays all terms in a list, I dont have a way to add the color CSS to each. Is there a way to do this?

Regards,

David

Hi David

Rather than use the wpv-post-taxonomy shortcode, which will output the terms belonging to a post in a list, I think you need to create a taxonomy View where the terms will be output individually and where you can use the termmeta fields.

I assume you have a termmeta field with, for example, the hex code of the colour for that term.

So create a View to display those taxonomy terms which has a Query Filter to say the terms should be set by the current post, and in the Loop Output section output the term name wrapped in a span which has an inline style where you supply the colour from your term meta field (which you insert using the Fields and Views button).
