How to get the category title in a post in Wordpress?
Say I have a post called Hello World in Wordpress and I'm directly viewing this page, how would I go about finding the category of "Hello World" and displaying it? Use get_the_category() like this: <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { echo $category->cat_name . ' '; } ?> It returns a list because a post can have more than one category. The documentation also explains how to do this from outside the loop. You can use <?php the_category(', '); ?> which would output them in a comma separated list. You can also do the same for tags as well: <?php the_tags('<em>:</em>', ', ', ''); ?>
