Ex. User is viewing a post in category 'cars' when the box appears the title would be MORE STORIES FROM 'cars'.

When he switch to category 'IT', the name to be 'MORE STORIES FROM IT'

if(!emptry($td_query_more_article->posts)) {?>
    <div class="td-more-articles-box">
     <i class=td-icon-close td-close-more-articles-box"></i>
     <span class="td-more-articles-box-title"><?php echo __td('MORE STORIES', TD_THEME_NAME) ?></span>
    <div class="td-content-more-articles-box">

I hope I was specific enough. Corrent me if I am wrong

Answer 1

Sorry, this needs bit more clarification how you want to achieve this; do you want this on widget or add it statically on the theme? Is there a reason why excisting plugins don't work for you?

Answer 2

If you are in the WordPress loop, you can simply using the following:

$categories = get_the_category();

if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
    echo esc_html( $categories[0]->name );   
}

This will give you the first category if there are more than one.

If you are not in the loop, you will need to pass the post id as a parameter, like this;

// get the post object
global $post; 

// pass post id
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID); 

if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
    echo esc_html( $categories[0]->name );   
}

Answer 3

You can get category name using this function.

$cat_name = get_category(get_query_var('cat'))->name;
