Let’s assume that every entry in a multi-weblog site has a single category
is it possible to determine a given entries ‘category id’ from it’s url_title or it’s entry_id?

Okay so I think I uncovered a problem—I was using exactly that on my local dev server - but the same code brings back zero results on a clients server
using this very minimal template

<body>

<h3>{title}</h3>
<p>{body}<br />
<b>webblog:</b> {weblog_short_name} -- {weblog_id} </p>
<p>{exp:weblog:categories}<br />
<b>category assigned:</b> {category_name} -- {category_id}</p>
<p>{/exp:weblog:categories}<br />
<div class="date">Posted on {entry_date format="%M %d, %Y - %h:%i %A"}</p>
<p>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
</div><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}</p>
<p></body><br />
</html>I’ve tried it with the standalone {exp:weblog:categories} as well as just {categories} with the same results
the category tags are completely ignored and even the static content within them isn’t displayed - anyone have any idea what might be going on? is it a bug?

To be sure, it is {categories} with an {exp;weblog:entries} context, not {exp:weblog:entries}.
