On my Wordpress blog, I'm using SimplePie RSS to pull RSS data from the forums (i.e. latest posts)...but when I try to pull the category get_category() and author get_author() information, it just comes out as a bunch of randoms numbers and letters. The story link, title, description and dates comes out fine in plain text though. Any ideas how I can get those first two bits to show up in readable text?

This is what I used to echo the data

<?php echo $item->get_title(); ?>

Changing the get_ portion to the various types as mentioned above.

These might help if you just want to pull the information via javascript:
