How to: Display category name without link

When you’re using the the_category( ) function to display the category name of a post, a link to the category archive is automatically created by WordPress. While this is a good thing in most cases, what if you don’t want to create a link? Here’s an easy way to do it.

To display the category name without haveing a link to the category archive being automatically created, simply open replace the_category( ) by the following code:

<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $category[0]->cat_name;
?>

Thanks to Corey Salzano for that trick!

to my know, category with link is good for SEO, even if we delete a word ‘category’ in category link.
