Display Link to Category in Wordpress?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to display the category of an article, and a link to the category. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Here's some info that will be of use:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template%5FTags/wp%5Flist%5Fcategories

Basically you can call: <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?> and this will output what you're looking for.

Thr $args parameter is an array of settings strings that lets you change the order, style, depth etc, on links returned.

Answer 2

If you want to do this on post page you can add something like the following to your single.php file of your theme.

<div class="meta">Posted in: <span><?php the_category(', ') ?> </span></div>
