I want to show an images category in the lower left of thumbnails.

Here's where I've gone
-Layout Editor
-Standard
-Footer 1 left
-Custom template

At this point I'm lost? I asked this question in the past (way older version) but can no longer  make it work. Can you please give me a step by step to achieve this. Thanks for your help !

Oh, Happy New Year to y'all !! :-) - Bob

Since you want to display the categories of a file (all? some? one?) you will use the {File.Categories} variable. This variable has many options, allowing you to display all categories, or only specific categories. Start with something like

{File.Categories|replace:~;=={lf}}

We replace ; with {lf} to display one category per row. If you use

{File.Categories|replace:~;==~, }

(replace ; with ,<SPACE>) the categories are displayed as a comma-separated list, wrapping into multiple lines. Don't forget to set the height of the footer in the options to 100 or more pixels, to see all your categories.

to get some additional ideas. It explains how to display keywords, but categories work very similar.
