Wow, you’re a lifesaver! Thank you, Sridhar. Worked like a charm.
One other question: is there any way to get this same sort of function to appear in the Archive pages, as well? So that if I search on the site, for example, I know which category each article is filed under?
and similarly in the other function, but without the exclamation.
That works for the archive pages, definitely! But not for searches, oddly. Or for the “Blog” page template (though that may be theme-specific, I’m not sure).
Yep, that’s what I figured for Search. But oddly, the Blog page still isn’t yielding the Category meta. Hmm – I wonder if it’s because I renamed the page?
Wow, yep. That works just right. You’ve done it again, Sridhar! I guess it took a tad more tinkering.
This just what I was looking for thank you! I want to add it above manual excerpts on a home page which shows latest blog posts – I tried adding ‘the_excerpt’ with no luck. Any suggestions?

I tried adding is_post_type_archive instead of is_singular, but to no avail. I wonder if I’m missing something?
You want in all archive pages including search, right?
Yep! So that each post features the category name, just like on individual posts.
Try changing
if ( ! is_singular(‘post’) )
to
if ( ! ( is_singular(‘post’) || is_archive() ) )
and similarly in the other function, but without the exclamation.

Change it to
if ( ! ( is_singular(‘post’) || is_archive() || is_search() || is_page_template(‘page_blog.php’) ) )
I added || is_search() and that worked well. The last piece is the Blog page… I’m trying to figure out what the code is for that.
See my reply above.
