(Let me know if I should open a separate ticket for this support request.)

I updated my version of event_list_display.php to include:

		<!--Attempt to add category --> 
		<p id="event_category-<?php echo $category_identifier ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php _e('Category:', 'event_espresso'); ?></span></p><?php echo event_category_display($category_identifier) ?>
 		
		<p id="event_category-<?php echo $event_category_id ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php _e('Category:', 'event_espresso'); ?></span></p> 

I also attempted to output the category on single-espresso_event.php by using code from other parts of the template or other templates:

              <p><?php echo $event_cat; ?></p>
                        <?php echo '<p id="events_category_name-' . $category_id . '" class="events_category_name">' . stripslashes_deep($category_name) . '</p>'; ?>

Looking for a standardized way to call the Category name as well as a passing the id to the div so the Category color I have defined gets passed as well.

THANKS!

Unfortunately I will need additional instruction on where to add this specific code and how to accurately reference it.

Adding it just above the Paragraph didn’t work:

<!-- Second attempt to add category --> 
<?php $category_name = espresso_event_category_data($event_id, TRUE); return $category_name['category_name']; ?>
<p id="event_category-<?php echo $category_name ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php _e('Category:', 'event_espresso'); ?></span></p> 		

Knowing how to call this in the id would also be helpful:
You can also get the colors via the espresso_event_category_data() function if you pull those from the category_meta array.

Excellent. This gives me access to everything that I need.
I’ve never used unserialize or var_dump but I understand how it works now. Thanks!
