Using categories tag pair with related categories mode

Question

I'm having issues trying to display a category name when using the related categories option. Two snippets below:

{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="4" related_categories_mode="yes" custom_fields="yes"}

And inside of the above:

{categories limit="1" show="not 1"}{category_name}{/categories}

When I remove related_categories_mode the categories will display fine, but it's unfortunately necessary for this situation.

Answer 1

yes {categories} loop not working with related_categories_mode.

you can work around this problem using {embed} template and pass the entry_id to it then call {categories} loop.

or you can use addons Like gwcode_categories http://gwcode.com/add-ons/gwcode-categories/examples/example1

and get the categories info for the current entry.

Regard's.
