I created a Custom Field that was configured as 'Category Drop Down - drop down of all WP categories'. I successfully, get a Category combo box on the photo upload with all of my Categories that I created in WP. </p> <p>What I am trying to do is have a link on each image in my custom layout that gives the name of the category that links to a gallery with all images that match the category. Similiar to what the [author_link] shortcode does in the Layouts Editor, but for categories.</p> <p>I see shortcodes in the Custom Form screen for [category_name], [category_link] and [category_id]; but it doesn't seem that they can be used in the Custom Layout.</p> <p>Any thoughts on how to add a link to each image for categories? I'm not using the WP upload features built into PS 0.4.01. Would using this help with categories?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Lee </p>
