Display category title without link.

  • Hi All,

    Is is possible to display the name of blog category minus the link? All I want to display is the name of category below the name of my posts but WordPress automatically applies a URL.

    This is what I have so far:

    

<div class="post__inner">

<div class="category__list">

<p class="cat">

<?php echo get_the_category_list(', '); ?>

</p>

<div class="post__stamp">

<?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>

</div>

</div>

<div>

  • Hello,

    If you add this in your functions.php:

    function wporg_category_list(){
	$get_cat_list = get_the_category();
	if ( ! empty( $get_cat_list ) ) {
		$categories = array();
		foreach ( $get_cat_list as $cat ) {
			$categories[] = $cat->name;
		}
		$categories = implode( ', ', $categories );

		return $categories;
	}
}

    and then replace

    get_the_category_list(', ');

    with

    wporg_category_list();

    It should do something you need.
    As we’re modifying theme template, I assume you’re running a child theme.

    Hi, sorry for the long delay and many thanks for the advice. I am running my own custom built theme. Cheers. D.
