    Hi,

    I have the following code below that shows just the categories that the current post is assigned to,

    I need a way of showing all the categories on the blog.

    <div class="categories-title">Tags</div>
					<div class="categories">
					<?php
						$categories = get_the_category();
						$separator = ' ';
						$output = '';
						if($categories){
						foreach($categories as $category) {
						$output .= '<p>'.$category->cat_name.'</p>'.$separator;
						}
						echo trim($output, $separator);
						}
						?>
					</div>
				</div>

    Any help is appreciated

    I think the best way to do this would be to use the get_categories function.

    I think the code below will do what you’re looking for.

    <?php
$args = array(
  'orderby' => 'name',
  'order' => 'ASC'
  );
$separator = ' ';
$output = '';
$categories = get_categories($args);
if ($categories) {
  foreach ($categories as $category) {
    $output .= '<p>' . $category->name.'</p> ' . $separator;
  }
  echo trim($output, $separator);
}
?>
