Remember to use overrides instead of editing the core files:
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

You can use this code as a starting point

You are here: <?php echo $this->item->category->name; ?> -> <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>

Here you go:

You are here: <a href="<?php echo $this->item->category->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->category->name; ?></a> -> <?php echo $this->item->title; ?>

Hello, the URL is being generated from:

<?php echo $this->item->category->link; ?>

Keep in mind that depending on the context you might need to use $item instead of this $this->item.

<?php echo $item->category->link; ?>
