  Hello,

  I am using the following code to show all the categories the blog entry is linked to.

  <?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) { echo ‘<tr><td>cat_ID . ‘”>’ . $cat->cat_name . ‘</td></tr>’; } ?>

  My horse blog has over 200 categories and I want to reduce the number of shown categories at a blog entry. For exeample:
  My entry is connected to the categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Is there possible that just the categories 3-8 are shown within my blog entry altought this entry is linked to more categories?

  Please help me guys!!!
  Jenny

  I think you have an independently-hosted blog? Is your blog hosted at WordPress.com? I ask because I don’t think we have this functionality here. You may be independent, in which case the forums at WordPress.org will be the place to look for help.

  There are two kinds of WordPress; we need to know which kind you have before we can help you, because they are quite different. Here is a thread that explains the difference:

  Or you could just give us a link to your blog, starting with http and then we could see for ourselves which kind it is. Or link your name to your blog: go to your Profile page and put the blog URL under “Website” and then your name is always a link to your blog on WordPress.com.
