   Hi,

   just not understanding what's going on with this function. I have a post which is in multiple categories. I have a category structure like this:

   cat1
   -cat1A
   --cat1A1
   -cat1B
   --cat1B1

   And let's say my post belongs to BOTH cat1A1 and cat1B1. Now if I use the_category(); without any parameters, it will return exactly what I want which is a ul containing links to cat1A and cat1B. However, as soon as I use any parameters, this does not happen. I either see cat1A ONLY or I see the entire parent tree. Can anybody let me know why this might happen?

   The problem seems to happen when using a separator. If I call the function like this:

   <?php the_category('','multiple',$post->ID);?>

   The result is normal (but no separator). If I do this:

   <?php the_category(' ','multiple',$post->ID);?>

   I get only one category listed.

   Hmm I've solved it like this

   $category = get_the_category();
               foreach($category as $cat)
               {
                   echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($cat->term_id ).'">'.$cat->cat_name.'</a> ';
               }

   Not sure what was happening with the other function but there it is.
