 * Hello!
 * I would really need a function to display the archive page title if I use a shortcode.
   
   So, let’s say I have 5 categories. If I open category number 2, the shortcode
   would display the title of Category Number 2. If I open category number 5, the
   shortcode would display Category Number 5.
 * Hope someone helps me out with this!
 * Kind regards
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-for-archive-title%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
