I have some code to display a list of categories assigned to a blog post. I don’t want any of it to appear if there are no categories assigned to the blog post. Tried putting an if statement around it and it didn’t show up at all, even when a category was assigned. is this possible and if it is, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

{if categories}Categories: {categories backspace="1"} <a href="http://{path=driving-your-success}" title="{category_name}">{category_name}</a>,{/categories}{/if}

Hi TPG,

Does the example below work for you the way you want?

{categories}<a href="#">{category_name}</a> {/categories}

That should show only the categories for the post so long as they are inside the {exp:channel:entries}{/exp:channel:entries} tag pair.
Categories should not appear if there are none.  There should be no need for the {if categories}

Best regards,
Barry

TGP,

Let us know if that works for you. To make it more like what you want here is the full example incorporating your code

Categories: {categories backspace="1"}<a href="http://{path=driving-your-success}" title="{category_name}">{category_name}</a>,{/categories}
