<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'cp_state', true ); ?>

Then I want to add a link to this state name, this link will redirect to refind search result by this state value. But I dont know how to get category url path. Current, your code return

<a href='http://........"">category's name</a>

I want to get only http://........, I dont want to get all link <a href...</a> etc code. How to get ONLY category URL path??
