   hi to everyone

   im running a digital magazine, and above the post title im adding a line for the reader to know on which category is that post.. right now it looks this way:

   Featured, Fitness
   POST TITLE

   I would like to avoid showing FEATURED or MAIN ARTICLE in that line. So far I'm using:

   <?php $category = get_the_category();
   echo $category[1]->cat_name;
   ?>

   But i dont think that this code is what I need. Also, I don't know how to link the Category name to that specific category. So finally I would only like to show:

   Fitness (linked to fitness category)
   POST TITLE

   instead of

   Featured (linked to this cat), Fitness (linked to this cat)
   POST TITLE

   Probably this has been resolved before but im not good at tweaking wordpress codes

   Thank you very much!

   An example of excluding one (or more) categories displaying:
   

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       if (!in_array($category->cat_name,array('cat1_to_exclude','cat2_to_exclude','cat3_to_exclude')) ) {
       echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> ';
   }
   }
   ?>

   Sorry, but i'm just beginning to customize wordpress themes. how can i edit

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       if (!in_array($category->cat_name,array('cat1_to_exclude','cat2_to_exclude','cat3_to_exclude')) ) {
       echo '<a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> ';

   Sorry for posting again. i would like to clarify my question above.

   for example, i have the following categories

   1. Category 1

   1. Category 1.1
   2. Category 1.2
   3. Category 2

   Then, under the post title, i want to put a link to the category archive for "Category 1.1" ONLY and not have the other categories of the same post appear. How do i do this? thanks again!
