    Hi all,

    I have just upgraded to version 3.0, and single_cat_title seems to have stopped working in my array, the category title won’t display anymore

    here is the code, i’d really appreciate any assistance on this

    <?php
$display_categories = array(8,1,28,11);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) { ?>
    <div class="clearfloat">
      <?php query_posts("showposts=1&cat=$category");
	    $wp_query->is_category = false;
		$wp_query->is_archive = false;
		$wp_query->is_home = true;
		 ?>
      <h3><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>">

<?php single_cat_title(); ?>
        </a>
</h3>

    got around the problem by using get_cat_name instead

    Can you please elaborate?

    I encountered the exact same issue. After replacing “single_cat_title” with “get_cat_name” I am getting even worse problems. I’ve played around with it a bit, but I’m still pretty fresh when it comes to php.
    It looks like we’re both running the same theme maybe?

    <div id="rightcol">
    <?php
// enter the IDs of which categories you want to display
$display_categories = array(3,24,7,12,174,15,41,9,8,11,25,16,72);
foreach ($display_categories as $category) {
$count = 0; // Set the post counter ?>
    <div class="clearfloat">
      <?php query_posts("showposts=4&cat=$category"); // Set showposts to 4 - 1 with excerpt and 3 without
	    $wp_query->is_category = false;
		$wp_query->is_archive = false;
		$wp_query->is_home = true;
		 ?>
      <h3><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category);?>">
        <?php
	// name of each category gets printed
	  single_cat_title(); ?>
        </a></h3>

     <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      <?php
// Checks if this is the first post of each category
      if ($count == 0) {

// this grabs the image filename
	$values = get_post_custom_values("rightcolimage");
// this checks to see if an image file exists
	if (isset($values[0])) {
?>

    Well, Im very bad with PHP, could someone tell me how to solve it in this case?

    <h3 class="catt-<?php echo $cp_pC; ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_category_link( $cp_pC ); ?>"><?php single_cat_title(''); ?> &raquo;</a></h3>

    Im using the Arthemia theme and it has this code in the sidebar.php

    Change

    <?php single_cat_title(''); ?>

    to

    <?php echo get_cat_name($cp_pC); ?>.

    It will work.
