Using values from an array WordPress
- SOLVED
I found this function (https://www.axfon.com/how-to-get-primary-category-on-wordpress-using-yoast-plugin/) to get the primary category (a feature of Yoast SEO plugin)
I added that to my functions.php
And then as that page suggested I added to my template file:
<?php echo '<pre>'.print_r(get_primary_category(), true).'</pre>'; ?>
This outputs an array with the correct information in my loop.
Array
(
[url] => http://mysite.com/category/english-football/championship-betting-tips/
[slug] => championship-betting-tips
[title] => Championship
[id] => 19
)
How do I put this information into a usable bit of code like this?
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>

In the template file, add the code like this
<?php $categ= get_primary_category(); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categ['url'] ?>"><?php echo $categ['title']; ?></a>
Or you cN write like
<?php extract(get_primary_category()); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a>
Please reply me if you need any more assistance or the reply is not what you expect.

Use something like
<?php $pcat = get_primary_category(); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $pcat['url']; ?>"><?php echo $pcat['title']; ?></a>

<?php

Hello brother,
Just try this ,
$primaryCategoryInfo = get_primary_category();
$url = $primaryCategoryInfo['url'];
$title = $primaryCategoryInfo['title'];
Now you have the category info in variables $url and $title.
<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php echo $title ?></a>
Happy coding,
Thanks

Hi Ross!
In what way, do you want to make use of this in the loop?
Have you tried something like?
echo get_primary_category()["url"];
Cheers
