Outside the loop Category name with link

Question

I want to display the category Name by using category ID with link to category page (out side the loop).

here is my code...

<a href="<?php get_category_link('23'); ?>"><?php echo get_the_category_by_id(23); ?></a>

it's ok, but only think is it's go to home page... instead of category page... something missing... which i'hv not understand...

You need to echo your link:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_category_link('23') ); ?>">
    <?php echo get_the_category_by_id(23); ?>
</a>
