   Just looking at this advice for putting category-sensitive code in category.php.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates#Different_Text_on_Some_Category_Pages

   <?php if (is_category('Category A')) { ?>
   This is the text to describe category A
   
   <?php } elseif (is_category('Category B')) { ?>
   This is the text to describe category B

   Does anyone know if this could be used on single.php? For example, to run an advert beside all posts of a certain category?

   Thanks in advance for any input!

   I did something similar. I looped through all of the categories and depending on the category id, I added that category name to a variable which then prints after the loop. You can do something similar.

   Here is my code:

   $theCatName = "";
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
   	if ($category->cat_ID != '36' && $category->cat_ID != 39 && $category->cat_ID != '8') {
           	$theCatName = $theCatName.", ".$category->cat_name;
   	}
   }
   echo $theCatName;
