Been searching for this and trying for the last hour and I cant seem to find a solution.

Does anyone know how I add a word to the Wordpress Category link and make them part of the clickable link:

<div class="category"><?php the_category(', ')?></div>

I know I can add words to it but those are not clickable, but how do i make them part of the link so they are clickable?

Many thanks.

Have you tried asking on the wordpress.org forum?

The example is a bit clumsy on here, but it should give you what you need. You will need to echo the current category name alongside your words where they have simply put 'Category Name'.

Thanks Pete, sorry for my limited knowledge but how do I implement this?

Have tried different versions of the code but I keep getting an error message.

Thanks again.

I think it probably only works within the loop. I don't really know where you are trying to put it?

This code would work for showing a link to the current category.

<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->cat_ID); ?>">Blah <?php echo $category->cat_name; ?></a>

Thanks Peter, tried that but now the category just points to the homepage of the website, not to the actual category the article is posted in.

I have tried to replace the original code with the code above.

PM (or post here if you don't mind) the template which you want to update.

The way I understand it, you are trying to add a category then click it and it redirects to the proper category of your site. Have I understand it right? It should not be much of a problem.
