   Hi Everyone,

   I am looking for a way to display a post's single_cat_title on the homepage (Eaxctly how <?php single_cat_title(); ?> does in the archives).

   Each post only has one category, so any way of just outputting the post's category name on the homepage would be great. How can I do this?

   FYI, <?php the_category(', ') ?> doesn't do what I want, I do not want to link to the category, merely display the name of the category in text.

   Any help you could give me would be amazing. I have searched the support forums but haven't found an answer as of yet.

   Thanks...

   inside the loop? outside the loop? You failed to say.

   Hey thanks. I actually found that and was going to post the solution here incase someone else needed it one day.

   I think I was using it within the loop and used the following code:

   <?php
   foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
   echo $category->cat_name . ' ';
   }
   ?>

   Worked. A. Treat.
