I am trying to add the default category name on my site to a WordPress widget. Is there a way to pull this string (not the ID) automatically? I only have one category so i thought it would be easy, but none of the following are working:
<?php bloginfo('category'); ?><?php get_category(); ?><?php get_the_category(); ?><?php get_category([0]); ?><?php get_the_category([0]); ?><?php get_category([0]->cat_name); ?><?php get_the_category([0]->cat_name); ?><?php echo get_category(); ?><?php echo get_the_category(); ?><?php echo get_category([0]); ?><?php echo get_the_category([0]); ?><?php echo get_category([0]->cat_name); ?><?php echo get_the_category([0]->cat_name); ?>
Any help is appreciated…

<?php echo get_cat_name(get_option('default_category'));?>
Try this:
