I have been working on a new WordPress theme (to be released this week) and in one of the admin screens – I needed to get the category name by using the category ID. To do this (in or outside of the loop):
<?php get_cat_name( $cat_id ) ?>
Super simple – super helpful.

Always better explained on blogs than in WP codex… thanks it is useful!
Thanks. As simple as saying it… But yet useful to see it.
note to “id meneo”, I think that the codex it pretty good. Not always “really obviously” clear, but pretty good.
Thanks, this is what I was looking for. It’s true, sometimes the codex is a bit complicated to understand and if stuff is explained like this it’s easier to get it.
Thanks..
Very nice, simple and come to the point post.
Keep posting..
Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information approximately this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve found out so far. However, what about the bottom line? Are you positive in regards to the supply?|What i do not understood is if truth be told how you’re now not really a lot more neatly-appreciated than you may be now. You are very intelligent.
Thanks !
