How to get Post Title outside the loop

dint get u exactly …

but try this

<ul>
		<?php
      $catposts = get_posts('numberposts=10&category=17');
      foreach($catposts as $post) :
   ?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
	</ul>

you can use this for showing only titles of post from a partioular category…here 10 is the number of posts and 17 is the category id

How about using wp_title() or single_post_title()?

Thanks guys, esmi: <?php single_post_title(); ?> did the trick. Thanks.

On the same subject, I have a bit of code that outputs a ‘you are here’ kind of thing, but it gets displayed before the loop.

How do I get the single_post_title() for that post when the code generating it is before the loop?
