   I use the following code as a mini-header of sorts for each entry.

   <div class="allposts"><p>You are watching <?php the_title(); ?> from the <?php the_category(', '); ?> series. Watch <?php the_title(); ?> and the other episodes of <?php the_category(', '); ?> with online anime streaming only here at HiddenAnime. </p></div>

   I have 5000 entries at my site and here is a sample page in a sandbox that you can view to see what I am trying to do:

   http://plussizedfitness.com/blog/?p=1

   The sandbox is not set up with fancy permalinks, but that will not matter for the purposes of this discussion.

   What I need to do is exclude the above mini-header tag from a category called "old_anime" and because I am not educated in PHP very well, I sure could use some help.

   The mini-header tag is in the single post,php content loop, so that it appears in every entry. So, how do I write a conditional statement to exclude it from the stated category?

   Thank you

   Wrap the code that you don't want to show on posts in the particular category in these two bits of code:

   <php if( !in_category('category_name') ): ?>

   and

   <?php endif; ?>

   make sure to change category_name.

   OK, this is getting me there. But how can I get the category name displayed with WordPress coding it as a hypertext link? In other words, just display the non-linked category names?

   Here is what I now have:
   

   <?php if( in_category(204) || in_category (185) || in_category (181) ) : ?>
   
   <?php else : ?>
   <div class="allposts">You are watching <?php the_title(); ?> from
   the <?php the_category(', '); ?> series. Watch <?php the_title(); ?>
   and the other episodes of <?php the_category(', '); ?> with online
   anime streaming only here at HiddenAnime.
   </div>
   <?php endif; ?>

   This works, but it ends up displaying linked categories that are clickable.

   Like so:

   You mean "without WordPress coding it ..."?

   Replace your
   <?php the_category(', '); ?>

   with
   

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       echo $category->cat_name . ' ';
   }
   ?>

   or something a little trickier if you want a comma after each category but the last.
