 * Hi,
    I would add category for the ping but do not works… Could you help me?
 *     ```
       $cats = get_the_category($post_id);
       $my_cats_list = '';
       if ($cats) {
       foreach ((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       $my_cats_list .= '#'.$category->cat_name.' ';
       } }
       ```
   
 * `$message = str_replace('[cats]', $my_cats_list, $message);`
 * In status message option I’ve add: “[title]” – [cats] – [link].
