   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.
