Why does the category appear over the featured image of a post?
Please see attached image.
Hey there,
Hope you’re doing well today
This is typical WordPress behavior.
Categories are shown along with the post to give the user an idea of the category that the post is from. Shapely displays it as you see it, as an overlay on the image.
If you’d like to remove that you may add the code below to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
span.shapely-category {
display: none!Important;
}
I hope this helps 
Best Regards,
Support
