Display information about the default category via a shortcode
As of April 2026, LH Display Default Category is a WordPress default plugin with 0 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 1.1K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 4.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2018. Last updated 3 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Rename default post Labels.
This is a simple plugin that you may need.
It allows you to display information about the default category via the [lh_display_default_category] shortcode.
By default this shortcode will output the name name of the default category but if you wish to output any of the wordpress category object keys you can output them instead by specifiying the key e.g. [lh_display_default_category key=”category_count”]
This plugin actually supports other taxonomies (that have default term support). So you can also us it like so: [lh_display_default_category taxonomy=”my-custom-taxonomy”]
In time I will add gutenberg support for this plugin
