Thanks for this article it saved me some time. I also created simple function that allows using separators( like commas…). Just paste this function in your functions.php and call it in your theme.

function the_cat_name($separate = “, “) {
global $post;
$cat = get_the_category($post->ID);
$count_cat = count($cat);
$current_cat_num = 1;
foreach($cat as $c) {
$separator = $current_cat_num != $count_cat ? $separate : “”;
echo $c->cat_name . $separator;
$current_cat_num++;
}
}

I hope this block of code will help someone :)

I am using your Twitter plug-in as a widget in my sidebar and I would like to style the output. I can open the CSS stylesheet you have included, but I am not able to make any modifications.

I am wondering if there is a problem with this, or perhaps I am doing something wrong.

Thanks!
Karen

Thanks so much for this. I searched Google for hours trying to find this solution. I added a bit of code to it so each category is displayed in a seperate DIV with a grey background. This makes each category display in its own little box.

Posted in
foreach (get_the_category() as $category){
echo "

";
echo $category->cat_name;
echo "

";
}
?>

Thanks again and also to everyone for the helpful comments.

That worked great, thank you! :]

Just on a note, I also modified it to show spaces (in case anyone is interested).

echo ' ' . $category->cat_name . ' ';

Victoria:

I would try something like this:

foreach (get_the_category() as $category){ echo $category->cat_name; }

Yes, I have posts in several categories, but it seems that only one is showing up when I use the above code. http://varriaga.com/artwork/ this page, though I don’t have the code inserted right now, just the standard one.
