Hey guys, how can I insert a title of a given page into say a <h2></h2> tags?
Say my navigation is News / About / Contact, where "News" is the homepage, and "About" and "Contact" are secondary single pages.
Is there a php string I can insert in between some <h2> tags that will display the correct title of the page? "News" on news page, "about" on about page, etc.?
All I can get it to display is the page_id, which as you are aware is just a number... :/
This doesn't work?
<?php the_title('<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>
or
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

No, that gives the title of the post, not the page. Is there a way to assign page title variables?
Can you provide a link to your site?
Do you mean the page slug?
i.e. if the URL is mysite.com/kittens
...are you trying to get "Kittens" to show up as a heading on the page?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're after.

Yes, that is essentially what I want to happen. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with a link as I'm under contract.
Hopefully this will explain it better:
When I type in the URL mysite.com, on the page that comes up, I want "news" to appear as an H2. If I click on the About page, or type in the URL mysite.com/about, I want "about" to appear as an H2. Of course, all this within WordPress. Does that make sense?
are you using page templates with a custom query?
then try to use this before the custom query:
<?php echo '<h2>' . $post->post_title . '</h2>'; ?>
