Is this code correct?

    I looked for a methods to exclude a category ID from the_category() but didn’t find a code that works properly. So instead of the_category tag I’m trying to use “get the category”

    I tried

    <?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $exclude = array(10);
?>

    but that outputs the text “array”

    not sure what to modify if is this is even possible.

  • Example:

    <?php
//in the loop, display categories that are not cat id 10
$cats = get_the_category($post->ID);
  if ($cats) {
    foreach($cats as $cat) {
      if ($cat->cat_ID != 10) {
        echo '<p> category ' . '<a href="' . get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID, 'post_tag' ) . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $cat->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $cat->cat_name.'</a> has ' . $cat->count . ' post(s). </p> ';
      }
    }
  }
?>

    To test your arrays you can use print_r($array); you can’t just echo the array variable unless specifying an index echo $array[0]; or looping through as MichaelH shows.
