Well, WordPress has some integrated functions for that. Two of those would be get_category_by_slug (Codex link) or get_category_link (Codex link). I am not sure what of_get_option() returns, but those two might help you.
This is going to be a ton of code and a ton of explanation. Most of which can be copy and paste but I suggest taking the time to understand what’s going on and why. First thing to understand is that WordPress does not have Taxonomy Metadata but it may someday. This means that we … Read more

There are several ways to parse that but this might do: if (isset($_GET[‘cat’])) { $this_category = get_categories( array( ‘include’ => $_GET[‘cat’] ) ); … Read more
