Display WP Post Category without link

Posted in Wordpress on January 20, 2009 * Comments(5)

Here is a small piece of code that will display the category name of a Wordpress post without a hyperlink to the category page. Typically, the category data is retrieved with the_category( ). This function is not useful for manipulating the category name in plain text. Displaying the category in plain text is easy with get_the_category( ), however.


<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $category[0]->cat_name;
?>
