I need to display buttons for all post categories. When I click on a button, it links to the archive page of that specific category. Is there a way to highlight the current category?
My code
<div> <?php foreach(get_categories($args) as $category) { ?> <a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category); ?>"><?php echo $category->name; ?></a> <?php } ?> </div>

Please try this:
<?php $selected_category = get_queried_object(); $current_category = $selected_category->term_id; foreach(get_categories($args) as $category) { $selected_class = ''; if( $category->term_id == $current_category ){ $selected_class = "selected_a"; } ?> <a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category); ?>" class="<?php echo $selected_class; ?>" ><?php echo $category->name; ?></a> <?php } ?>
You can then add background CSS for “selected_a” class. Thanks
