Display all Category Names without link

  • Hi There

    I’m looking for a solution to output all corresponding categories per post without the link atttribute as I need it for css styling.

    I’ve tried and fiddled around with get_categories() etc, but this will only display the category with the lates ID, What I need would be to display all categories divided with a space, so I can use it as a css value in a list item such as:

    <li class="cat1 cat3">...</li>
<li class="cat2">..</li>
<li class="cat3 cat4">..</li>
....

    and so on. Hope its understandable…

    Thanks and regards

  • <ul>
<?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li class="<?php
$cats = get_the_category();
$length = count($cats);
$i = 1;
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
if($length == $i){
$catString = $category->category_nicename . '';
} else {
$catString = $category->category_nicename . ' ';
}
echo $catString;
$i++;
} ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

    see if that will work for you. It should make all the categories a post is in become a class for the <li> that holds the post title. All lowercase FYI.

    Example:

    <ul>
<li class="dogs cats animals"><a href="">title</a></li>
<li class="ballons scary-stuff"><a href="">title</a></li>
</ul>
