   Hallo!

   I just want to show the name of my category with the ID=1
   within my template. So I tried:

   <h2><?php echo( get_category( 1 ) ); ?></h2>

   But that gives me the following error:

   Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in ...

   I understand that get_category delivers in the wrong format but have no clue what to do to get the screen printout of the name.

   any help appreciated,
   thx,
   piedro

   This might help you: get_category

   get_category return an object as default.

   <?php
   $cat=1;
   $yourcat = get_category($cat);
   if ($yourcat) {
   echo '<h2>' . $yourcat->name . '</h2>';
   }
   ?>
