• I am trying to pull back a link and title of a post’s sub-category in a loop.

    PARENTCAT1
    -SUBCAT1
    -SUBCAT2

    PARENTCAT2
    -SUBCAT4
    -SUBCAT5

    1) I want to return a link and title. i.e.
    <a href="http://site/cat/subcat4">SUBCAT4</a>
    2) I would like to change the SUBCAT4 name on the link
    3) I should be able to specify the PARENTCAT2 or 1

    This was kind of working, except I have to enter the category. I want it to use the category that the post is in and be able to only specify the PARENTCAT. A post will only be in ONE sub-category of the PARENTCAT

    <?php
    
        // Get the ID of a given category
        $category_id = get_cat_ID( 'SUBCAT4' );
    
        // Get the URL of this category
        $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
    ?>
    
    <!-- Print a link to this category -->
    <a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>" title="Category Name">SUBCAT4</a>

    I tried this also but it just brings back the PARENTCAT2

    <?php
    
        // Get the category name
        $category_name = get_cat_name(5); 
    
        // Get the ID of a given category
        $category_id = get_cat_ID( $category_name );
    
        // Get the URL of this category
        $category_link = get_category_link( $category_id );
    ?>
    
    <!-- Print a link to this category -->
    <a href="<?php echo $category_link; ?>" title="Category Name">SUBCAT4</a>
