Displaying post_title on Category page

  • So I’m displaying a thumbnail gallery using the_post_thumbnail on my custom category page. Underneath each post_thumbnail I have the post_title. Right now instead of showing the post title it is showing the name of the image attached to the post. This is a problem because a lot of the images have a 2 at the end (EG post name 650L, image named 650L2) So the 650L2 is what is showing up underneath my post_thumbnails. How would I go about having the post TITLE display as opposed to the featured image name? Here is my thumbnail code as of now:

    <?php echo get_post(get_post_thumbnail_id())->post_title; ?>

    Can you show us the full template file?
    Maybe [untested]:

    <?php
$thumb = get_post( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
if ( $thumb ) {
	echo get_the_title( $thumb->post_parent );
}
?>

    Couldn’t you use the post title by using the_title():

    or get_the_title().
