   Hi,

   I have a post id. How can I get the names of the categories that the post belongs to? Don't mind using a technical approach, but I can't see where the category names are in the database to get them.

   Thanks,

   Jim.

   This needs to be inside the loop:

   <?php the_category([any separators should be included here, like ' ' or ' &amp; ']); ?>

   Hi,

   That wasn't exactly what I was after, but it put me on the right track :D

   $categories = get_the_category($postID);

   Thanks for your help.
