I want to show only categories name and link of the current post page. For example i have a post lets say "test123" and I have linked the post with 2 categories "ab","bc". However I have 5 different categories. So I want to show only 2 categories "ab","bc" when user goes to the "test123" page.
Please see my code below it is showing all the categories but I want to show only categories which are linked with the current post page.
wp_list_categories( 'number=5' ); ?>
<?php the_category(); ?>
or, if you want more options:
<?php the_category( $separator, $parents, $post_id ); ?>
This will do the trick. It can also be used like this:
<?php $catArr = get_the_category( $id ); ?>
