Hello,

how can I tell cyberseo to rename certain categories names. Also, how can I get cyberseo to skip specific categories?

Thx!

All category names are being stored in the $post ['categories'] array, so you have to work with it's values. For example, to rename "this" to "that" you may use the following code:

It works like a charm but how do I completely delete specific categories? If I use

then the parser doesn't work.

Sorry to reopen an old thread, but for whatever reason I've been unable to unset an array element using this method. array_diff seems to work just fine, though.

unset($post['categories']['r']);

vs

$post['categories'] = array_diff($post['categories'], ["r"]);

Any idea one works, but the other doesn't?

 

Thanks!

Because there is no 'r' element in your $post['categories'] array. Most likely you have something like this:

$post['categories'][5] = 'r';

or this

$post['categories'][0] = 'r';

To remove the $post['categories'] element, you have to specify its numerical id, but not its value. E.g.:

unset($post['categories'][3]);

I guess I'm a little confused. How do I unset category by name? I tried the snippet you supplied. I understand how unset works and have used it with other arrays. If I have a category called "dogs" that I want to unset, wouldn't I just use this?

unset($post['categories']['dogs']);

I'm looking to unset by value, not element number.

Thanks!

The solution for any coding-related task can be found at Stack Overflow (a very useful resource BTW). E.g.:

Login to see this link

Login to see this link

Login to see this link

So you can do it using both Login to see this link functions.
