How Do I Find the Category of an Image in WordPress?

There are a few ways to find the category of an image in WordPress. The easiest way is to use the WordPress Codex’s category functions.

You can use the get_category() function to get a category object for a post or a taxonomy term. Then you can use the category_name() function to get the name of the category.

To get the name of the parent category for an image, you can use the get_parent_category() function. This function will return the name of the parent category for a post or a taxonomy term.

If the category does not have a parent, get_parent_category() will return the empty string.

If you only want the name of the parent category, you can use the parent_category() function. This function will return the name of the parent category for a post or a taxonomy term, without the post or taxonomy term’s ID.

If you only want the category ID for an image, you can use the get_cat_ID() function. This function will return the category ID for a post or a taxonomy term.
