Display Category of Post

I’m confused. Isn’t the_category a standard WordPress function to display the category of the current post?

Are you trying to display the category of the top posts?

Please see this: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ajaydsouza/c8defd4b46e53240e376/raw/0036cb48cb121f3ddcdd60542a530ae1b3fe4d34/tptn_list_cats.php

Hello,

Yes I’m trying to display the category of the posts in the top 10 post list. For example this is a music related website, each post is a song and the categories are the artists, the artist must be included with the song or it doesn’t make much sense. Is this functionality already included (2.4)? From the code at github it seems like it was included in 2.2. If not where do I need to put that bit of code? Thanks!

You need to add that code in your functions.php of your theme file.

Thanks! That did the trick.

You’re welcome ??
