    I’m trying to hack a plugin to insert the category name of the post above the post title in a plugin/widget that displays three posts in a single row on the front page.

    The hack I tried is as follows, but while it worked on localhost it did not work on my live installation – this is the hack I tried to be added at functions.php:

    $count = 1;

function custom_cat_before_featured_page_title($tc_fp_title_block , $featured_page_title = '' ){
$o = get_option('tc_pro_fpu');

global $count;

if($count == 1){
$value = 'one';
}
if($count == 2){
$value = 'two';
}
if($count == 3){
$value = 'three';
}
$value = $count;

@$id = $o["tc_featured_page_{$value}"];
@$categories = get_the_category_list( ", ", "", $id );
$cat = '';
if(!empty($categories)){
$cat = ' <div class="customizr-fpc-category">' . $categories . '</div>';
}

$count++;
return $cat.$tc_fp_title_block;
}
add_filter( 'fpc_title_block', 'custom_cat_before_featured_page_title' );

    The files related to the plugin/widget in the theme are as follows:

    I appreciate all help!

    Besides server configuration, the usual reason for code working on your local installation but not on a production server is differences in PHP versions.

    You’ve initialized $count outside of the function. Be sure to declare it global both outside and inside the function. I’m not sure if that’s really the issue, but it’s the only thing I see that may be affected by PHP version.

    Assuming the $o array keys are of the form tc_featured_page_one and not tc_featured_page_1, I don’t understand the line $value = $count;. Why set $value to numeric words to only later set it to an integer? Type casting an integer into a string could be another difference in PHP version behavior, but I’m only guessing.

    Hi bcworkz, removing $value = $count did the trick!
