 * hi to everyone
 * i was trying to be brief and descriptive while writing the topic but couldn’t
   found something clever to write..
 * well, i got the following problem… im creating an e-magazine and there’s a place
   where i use a category (featured) to put all the posts in that specific spot 
   of the page.. and those posts also have their own category (such as music, fitness
   and beauty and health…
 * i want to add on the top of each of those posts the category that is not “featured”…
   im using `<?php the_category(', '); ?>` but that tag posts both categories:
 * featured, music
    featured, fitness featured, beauty and health
 * and i only need to show the last one:
 * music
    fitness beauty and health
 * any ideas? im kinda new with wordpress

 * In place of `<?php the_category();?>`, try using something like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
       	if($category->cat_name == 'Fitness')  continue;
       	echo '<a href="'.get_category_link( category->ID).'">'.$category->cat_name.'</a>, ';
       }
       ?>
       ```
