Display selected category in WordPress template

Hey there

Title summerizes what I’m trying to do – I’d like to display the selected category on my WordPress template, currently I’m displaying the search result but not the category, so if a user only selects a category I end up with a blank title, here’s an example;

Title at the top reads “Search results for: ”

https://love-glamping.co.uk/?sfid=51345&_sft_category=cornwall

Simple piece of code to do this is this;

<?php
printf(
/* translators: %s: query term */
esc_html__( 'Search Results for: %s', 'understrap' ),
'<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>'
);
?>

Is there something I can add to this to get the category data? %c for example?

Sorry, I couldn’t find the answer in the documentation

And actually selected tags too!

The currently applied filters are accessible to PHP. You would need the help of a skilled third party PHP coder, I think.

This thread might help you:

… and this search will give similar threads I think:

Note, if you are using Ajax refreshing of the results, any PHP needs to be inside the Ajax Container, or it will not update.

This got me heading in the right direction but I needed a little help so had to go to Stack Over flow but the solution is really simple

So future people needing this here how I did it – https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59882323/displaying-correct-value-from-array-values-in-php?noredirect=1#comment105893774_59882323

Thanks again for the brilliant support
