Question

Quick WordPress question. Is it possible to check against a specific category, so not to display it? I tried this, but my category was still being echoed (no errors).

 <?php if (the_category() != "NAMEOFMYCATEGORY") { the_category(' | '); } ?>

Or would I need to work with a new function?

To clarify: I want to HIDE 1 specific category so it doesn’t show up.

Answer 1

This should work:

<?php
foreach (get_the_category() as $category) {
    if ( $category->name !== 'FORBIDDEN CATEGORY NAME' ) {
        echo '<a href="' . get_category_link($category->term_id) . '">' .$category->name . '</a><br />'; //Markup as you see fit
    }
