Wordpress: Get first category name only

 / Published in: PHP
 

This is useful if a post is in a child category and you only want to list the immediate category. Unlike get_categories which will show the parent categories as well.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. <?php
  2. $category = get_the_category(); 
  3. echo $category[0]->cat_name;
  4. ?>
