In your functions.php, you can filter the_category_list, which is an array of categories for a post. function wpse_the_category_list( $categories, $post_id ) { return array_slice( $categories, 0, 2, true ); } add_filter( ‘the_category_list’, ‘wpse_the_category_list’, 10, 2 ); And then display the categories in your template file with: the_category();
