    Have a feeling this is a very elementary question…but how do I get the Category NAME from the $post->default_category?

    I have tried several things, but have a mental block for some reason.

    Thought might be:
    get_term_by(‘id’, $post->$default_category, ‘gd_placecategory’);

    ???

    But no joy :{

    Can you suggest?

    Still looking, but SHOULD have put in…

    get_term_by(‘id’, $post->default_category, ‘gd_placecategory’);

    Had extra $ in earlier message! Whoops!

    Didn’t show a category for me. I just wrote that “Whoops” message because I had improperly written what I tried….that didn’t appear to work.

    What would you say would get the default category’s name?

    Could you let me know that one snippet, please?

    Trying within add_action(‘geodir_wrapper_open’, …)

    The function you use should get it, this is how i woudl do it:

    

    global $post;
//echo "the default cat id is:".$post->default_category; // uncomment for testing.
$term = get_term_by('id', $post->default_category, $post->post_type.'category');
//print_r($term); // uncomment for testing.
echo $term->name;
