Hi. Try something like that:

<?php 
$parent = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'Table');
$parent->load($this->item->category->parent);
echo $parent->name; 
?>

Has anyone figured this out for the newer version, K2 Version 2.6.6 ??

I want to display the image of the parent category in the category.php template. I tried the suggestion above, but it did not work.

Hey guys, thanks for this info. Just to add my bit, hoping it will be helpful to someone else:

I needed to get the ID of a category's parent category in the category.php file, so my code is

<?php
// Get the parent category name
$parent = JTable::getInstance('K2Category', 'Table');
$parent->load($this->category->parent);
$myparentid = $parent->id;
?>

And then to output the value

<?php echo $myparentid; ?>

Tested and working on 2.7.0 (development version)
