That’s where i found the code posted above. It shows the Parent Name and the child categories. Is there in any I can show only the parent name?
function get_category_parent($id, $link = FALSE, $nicename = FALSE){
$chain = '';
$parent = &get_category($id);
if ( is_wp_error( $parent ) )
return $parent;
if ( $nicename )
$name = $parent->slug;
else
$name = $parent->cat_name;
if ( $link )
$chain .= '<a href="' . get_category_link($parent->term_id) . '" title="' . sprintf(__("View all posts in %s"), $parent->cat_name) . '">'.$name.'</a>';
else
$chain .= $name;
return $chain;
}
Put that in your functions.php and call it with:
<?php echo(get_category_parent($cat ,TRUE, TRUE)); ?>

thanks! i’ve tried it but it didn’t work. i change $cat to $category because it would be place after this code:
$display_categories = array(22,15,25,26,29);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>
<?php echo(get_category_parent($category ,TRUE, TRUE)); ?>
it displays the current SLUG not the parent category.

This shows the parent category for each of the post’s categories. It also works outside the loop.
<?php
foreach (get_the_category() as $cat) {
$parent = get_category($cat->category_parent);
$parent_name = $parent->cat_name;
echo $parent_name;
}
?>
corinutz, thx, it really works.
Another question…
<?php echo(get_category_parents($cat, TRUE, ‘ » ‘)); ?>
will output:
Internet » Blogging » WordPress » Test Category »
How can I make it display the Parent Category Name only?

The “Blogging” category have id=32.
How to show categories from current (child child of 32) to category with id 32 and trim alll other parent categories?
