Right, hopefully a nice and simple one… I’m on a category page with the id of 4, I want to get the category object back so I can interogate a few values.
I’ve had a good old look in the WP codex with little success, remember I don’t want to get the categories from a post, I want the category object from the current category.
Many thanks,
Ben 🙂

To get the category object use get_category
(codex). It’s easy if you know the name, slug or ID, but if you don’t you could use is_category
to check on which category you are and pass the ID to get_category
.
