    I’m trying to build a breadcrumb system into my new theme, but I’ve run into a problem. This is part of the code I’m working with, it is in my functions.php file:

    if (!is_home()) {
		echo '<a href="';
		echo get_option('home');
		echo '">';
		echo 'Home';
		echo "</a> &raquo; ";
		if (is_category() || is_single()) {
			echo single_cat_title();
			if (is_single()) {
				echo " &raquo; ";
				the_title();
			}
...

    For some reason, the category does not display at all. When running the above code on a single page, I get:

    You are here: Home » » Page Title Here

    Does anyone know whats up> WP 2.7 if it matters.

    Put this before the first ‘if’:

    if (is_category) {
$cat = get_query_var('cat');
echo 'category is ' . $cat;
}

    To see what category WordPress thinks it is querying.

    After a little playing around, got it. Thanks for the help.
