get_the_category() worked perfectly, thank you. For some reason I couldn’t get wp_get_post_categories() to work, no matter how I tried implementing it.

If anyone else is looking to do the same thing and use a specific post’s category ID’s as classes, here’s my code:

<?php
$categories = get_the_category();
$separator = ' ';
$classes = '';
if($categories){
   foreach($categories as $category) {
      $classes .= 'cat-'.$category->term_id.$separator;
   }
}
?>

<div class="<?php echo trim($classes, $separator); ?>">
   DIV CONTENT
</div>

Hi, thanks for your reply but definitely not using any cache plugins. In fact the only plugin I have running is Booking Calendar. I just tried this on a brand new WP install and the same thing is happening. Very confused!

@tzeldin88 just wanted to say thanks sooo much for this! used this method to build a client portal for a recent site and it does EXACTLY what it says on the tin… couldn’t have been a more perfect solution. Will be using this exact technique again and again for sure. Kudos!
