# single_cat_title return nothing

 * Strange things with me and WordPress today.
 * `<?php single_cat_title(); ?>` return nothing inside loop. Please, what wrong
   here?
 * Full Code:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       		<div <?php post_class(); ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       			<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
       			<div class="entry">
       <?php single_cat_title(); ?>
       				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">' . __('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;', 'kubrick') . '</p>'); ?>
   
       				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>' . __('Pages:', 'kubrick') . '</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
       				<?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this entry', 'kubrick'),'','.'); ?>
       			</div>
       		</div>
       	<?php comments_template(); ?>
       	<?php endwhile; else: ?>
       		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'kubrick'); ?></p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * This one’s in the docs:
 * > Can be used only outside The Loop.

 * If you don’t mind having the category linked, the simplest solution is probably
   to use the_category instead:

 * Don’t mind, that single.php can cause it.
