Links to categories

Haven’t tested but what about something like this:

<?php $category = get_the_category(); 

echo "<a href=\"/yourcategorybasehere/";
echo $category[0]->cat_slug;
echo "\">";
echo $category[0]->cat_name;
echo "</a>"; ?>

The code works great, however, I would like a more automated process, so that the category changes with whatever I change it to on the post page.

Actually, change of plan, do you know how to find the link of a category page (couldn’t seem to find it anywhere)?

I’m gathering it would look something like sitename.com/category=gaming (with name at the end?)

This way I can then add the url slug of the category to the end of the link url when inputted in.

Hope this makes sense, haha, cheers!

Ah, found a solution:

<?php
$category = get_the_category();
if ($category) {
  echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category[0]->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category[0]->name.'</a> ';
}
?>

Thanks for your help

ahhh… yup that looks like the answer, yeah, my answer would assume you had permalinks set to /%postname%/ …
