Use the category name instead of category slug in permalinks
I did not test this, but this should do what you want. Put the following in your functions.php: add_filter(‘rewrite_rules_array’, ‘new_category_name_rewrite_rule’); function new_category_name_rewrite_rule($rules) { $new_rules = array(); $categories = get_categories(); foreach ($categories as $category) { $cat_name = preg_replace(‘#\s+#’, ‘-‘, $category->name); $new_rules[“https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”.$category->slug.”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”] = “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”.urlencode($cat_name).”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”; } return $new_rules + $rules; }
Display posts from a category
You’re doing query_posts and then immediately get_posts. This looks wrong. Remove the query_posts call. Also, where does your $cat come from? It doesn’t appear to be set anywhere in your code snippet. Try to start with setting it first: $cat = get_query_var(‘cat’);
Category archive is displaying all posts rather than the specific category
You are overwriting the query that loads with the page (which you saved to $temp) – why not just use the one that loads with the page: while(have_posts()) : the_post(); // put the post here endwhile;

not all categories being displayed

Arguments for your first get_categories call, should look like this: $args=array( ‘hide_empty’=>false, ‘orderby’ => ‘slug’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, //’include’ => ‘5, 6, 7, 8′, – you don’t need to include anything //’exclude’ => ‘3, 8, 9, … Read more
Is there a reason I cannot get the current category in a loop?
get_query_var will get the category from the main query, and it is only going to be set for some pages, such as category archives. It is not set for “single” pages or tag archives or a many other kids of “pages”. The value that get_query_var returns is something like a ‘search’ variable. It will be … Read more
How can I only display one link rather than many?
Just use the break statement to abort after the first cat that is found and that is a child category. foreach ( get_the_category() as $cat ) { if ( cat_is_ancestor_of( 10, $cat ) ) { printf( ‘<a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/103533/%s”>%s</a>’, get_category_link( $cat->cat_ID), echo $cat->cat_name ); break; } }
