   Hi,

   Ive tried hard to get this... but Im not beeing able to do something I beleive should be simple...

   All I want is to retrieve the parent category link of the current post inside The Loop.

   I want to do this: "AUTHORs NAME

   My last try to get the category id was:

   <blackticks>

   <? global $id ?>
   <?php $query = "

   SELECT category_id

   FROM $wpdb->post2cat

   WHERE post_id = $id ";

   $categoria = $wpdb->get_results($query);
   echo $categoria->category_id;

   ?>
   </blackticks>

   I returns nothing...

   any help?

   correcting one line of the post above:

   I want to do this: a href="CATEGORY_LINK" > AUTHORS NAME /a

   I managed it:

   $cat = get_the_category();
   echo $cat[0]->cat_ID;
