    Hi,

    my problem is very simple, I can’t seem to get the category name of a post in a single string format.
    There’s the_category() function which returns a list of all the categories as links. Now what I need is the category of the post as plain text (no link). The posts will always belong to exactly ONE category.

    This bit of PHP will display the name of the (first or only) category for a post:

    <?php
    $category = get_the_category();
    echo convert_chars($category[0]->cat_name);
    ?>
