For your first problem try it with this instead of the_category(', ')
<?php
$categories = get_the_category();
if($categories) :
$html = '';
foreach ( $categories as $cat ) {
$html .= '<a href="'.get_category_link( $cat->term_id ).'">'.$cat->slug.'</a>, ';
}
?>
<p>Posted by <?php the_author() ?> in <?php echo trim($html, ', '); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Also how do I get the Category Description in to the header meta of the the page?
Do you want this on every page or only on category archive pages?
Hi Thanks
I will try that straight away and no I just want it on the category index pages.
Thanks
For your second question try it with this inside your <head></head> tags (header.php):
<?php if(is_category()) :
$thisCat = get_category(get_query_var('cat'));
if($thisCat->description) :
?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $thisCat->description; ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
