yep, header.php 🙂 or you can put it in a function and call the function in your header, loop, wherever.

FYI:

if(is_category() || is_single()){
  $cat = get_category_by_path(get_query_var('category_name'),false);
  $current = $cat->cat_ID;
  $current_name = $cat->cat_name;

echo "Current category ID is ".$current." and is called ".$current_name;
}

Used that, created a function around it, and worked out great for me.

nevermind, got it working. I forgot I was using the dev. database that had different into.

no idea?
