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;
?>
