    Hello,

    I need help to urlencode the_title and the_category,

    for the_category, example:
    <?php the_category(); ?> output will be My Category Name Here
    what i need for the output is My+Category+Name+Here

    same case for the_title, example:
    <?php the_title(); ?> output will be My Post Title Here
    what i need for the output is My+Post+Title+Here

    I hope you guys understand what i mean, Thanks!

    instead of the_category and the_title, use

    $my_cat = get_the_category();
    and
    $my_title = get_the_title();

    They store the output to variables instead of echoing it.

    Then you can use regular PHP urlencode on the variables.

    <?php echo urlencode( get_the_title() ); ?>

    the_category is different – if a post is in multiple categories it returns a list of all of them. To display the first one in the list encoded:

    <?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo urlencode($category[0]->cat_name);
?>

    displaying all of them requires a loop

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

    Thanks stvwlf, its work! how about the_title? i found this code on google
    <?php echo urlencode(the_title('','', false)) ?>

    The very first line in my previous answer is the code for the title

    <?php echo urlencode( get_the_title() ); ?>`
