I wonder if this function would be better to use in this case. Maybe not.

Where are you wanting to display this category list?

[kevin]

i want showing only select category name.

-cat 14 name=a
--cat 17 name=b
--cat 18 name=c

now x.com/?cat=18 show a c.
i don't show a. i want show c.
or
x.com/?cat=17 show a b.
i want showing b, in template.

or
x.com/?cat=17 show a b.
i want showing b, in template.

The easiest thing to do would be to make Cat 17 and Cat 18 parent categories (they are currently child categories of Cat 14).

You can also try using the single_cat_title template tag.

I just realized, your OP indicated that you were using get_the_category, which is intended only for use in the loop (unless you pass a PostID as a function parameter).

Are you trying to display the category name inside the loop, or outside the loop?

oh thank you so much.
this tage Show the First Category Name Only.

<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo $category[0]->cat_name;
?>

ouside the loop.

thanks much
