Hello Laura,

Thank you.

Hey Again,

The "Primary" Category feature is added in by the Yoast SEO plugin therefore there is no support for it at the moment. 

Escalating this to the developer to check if a quick fix is available. 

Thanks 

Hello Laura,

I see you already deselected it here:

Also the posts that have the featured post also are also paired with other categories as shown here:

So that would explain why the post with the featured posts category appears eve after being deselected.

Thanks.

Hey Laura, in order to incorporate the "Primary" category from Yoast into the frontend display, you would need to override the default category partial via your child theme. The file that you would need to copy from salient is: salient/includes/partials/blog/styles/masonry-classic-enhanced/post-categories.php

When placing that file in your child theme, the same folder structure would need to be used in order for the override to take effect. So in your child theme, the file should be located at: salient-child/includes/partials/blog/styles/masonry-classic-enhanced/post-categories.php

Once you have that overriding, you could use a method similar to the one outlined in this article https://whiteleydesigns.com/code/get-primary-term-if-yoast-seo-is-being-used/

Here's an example of that being implemented into the post-cateogories.php file in salient:  https://pastebin.com/Byft4dgx

Kind regards,
