   I am using sirup, but the categories don't show on the first page. There is just a little black box which contains the link but no text. What to do? Grateful for any help with this.

   I see this under "Kategorier"

   * Den nya mitten
   * Intervjuade
   * Ledare
   * Nummer 3 2010
   * Ny hemsida
   * På löpet
   * Redaktionsblogg
   and links work

   am I missing something?

   edit - well now you switched themes on me :>)

   hi!

   You can see them on the top of the page, and on the sidebar - but on the first page, there are just little black boxes above the stories.

   Compare with the demo site:
   http://themes.1000ff.de/

   where there are categories in black boxes above the individual articles/blogposts. I tries uninstalling and reinstalling the theme, but that didn't help. I'm not using any plugins except akismet.

   No, only in the boxes at the top of the site just below the header - those work.

   But the boxes above the individual articles are just like a little black box or line - they link to the right place, but the text isn't visible.

   Yes, the post titles work - but not the category titles that are supposed to be just above every post title on the first page.

    Ok, we are getting somewhere but this is weird:
    - if I use your first suggestion,'<?php single_cat_title('',true); ?>' the categories on the left hand side work but not the right hand side.
    - If I use your other suggestion, '<?php the_category(', ') ?>' the right hand side works but not the left hand side.

    What can I do about that?

    @chinmoy29 is on to something:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-single_cat_title-after-upgrading-to-wordpress-30?replies=9

    try and replace:
    <?php single_cat_title(); ?>
    (which appears two times in your code)
    with:
    <?php echo get_cat_name($ategory); ?>

    the php echo didn't work, but the

    '<?php the_category(', ') ?>'

    did work, when I put it in properly in both places.

    THANK YOU so much for your help! I am forever in gratitude!
