Hi again Chris,
This gives the same result as <?php wp_title(); ?> because I tried it, I’m not sure which is best
wp_title() is intended to be output in the <title> tag in the document head, and is quite often filtered to output considerably more than just the Page/Post Title.
the_title() is intended to be output in the document body, and will always only be the Page/Post Title.

So when I need an <h1> I will use wp_title();
So when I need an <h1> I will use wp_title();
Generally speaking, wp_title() should only be used to output the <title> tag in the document head.

Exactly!
And you can use it anywhere in the document body (i.e. within the <body> tags) that you want to output the Page/Post Title, not necessarily only within the <h1> tags.

Yeah I understand, but in this case I need to auto generate all the <h1> in the website.
Gotcha; then the_title() is the template tag to use!
I want the page name on a title bar I have above the content yet it only gives me the name of the first post?

This works to get the page name, I use it in the Meta Title too: <?php wp_title(); ?>
