   This question relates to coding the archive.php file.

   I want the name of the category parent, category child or tag to display on the page above the list of posts. Don't know how to encode that.

   I experimented with that for accessing the category or tag name, but no luck.

   Here's one of my archive pages. I want the Category name (in this case, 'Quotes') to appear under the olive green flourish.

   Thanks to anyone with a solution.

    	  <?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Posts Tagged ‘<?php single_tag_title(); ?>’</h2>
    	  <?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
   		<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive f...............
