I'm novice on wordpress development and I have this problem.

How can I show the post category name?

Example:

Post Title: Wordpress Rules! Post author: Irwin R. Post Date: 22/09/2014 Cat Name: Wordpress

I'm using the following code:

<?php
query_posts(array('cat' => 5, 'posts_per_page'=> 3, 'orderby' => 'ASC'));
while (have_posts()) { the_post(); 
?>    
<h3>Post Title: <?php the_title();?></h3>
<h3>Post Author: <?php the_author();?></h3>
<h3>Post Date: <?php the_date();?></h3>
<h3>Cat Name: // What function should I use here?</h3>
<?php       
}
wp_reset_query();
?>

I'll appreciate your help!

    You will have to use <?php the_category(', '); ?> and as suggested below, never use query_posts. Use WP_Query instead.

  • Thanks Robert, it's works but i have another problem. I have one category and one subcategory, then the result shows both categories and i want just the subcategory. (e.g) Cat Name: Development SubCat name: Wordpress I want to print just SubCat Name.

There is: the_category(), which not only seems to be all to fittingly named.

Aside from that, don't use query_posts, as for the why take a look at those two threads:
