Getting Category Titles On A Page

Try adding <?php single_cat_title(); ?> where you want the category title to be displayed.

I have a related question, sort of.

I want to list the titles of posts from a certain category in the sidebar. I read the codex and thought doing some thing like this might work:

< ?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
if ( in_category(‘3’) ) { ? >
<h3>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

< ?php }
endwhile;
else: ?>
<p>< ?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria…yet’); ?></p>
< ?php endif; ? >

But I’m coming up empty. I got the cat id from the categories page under posts. have also tried getting the by the category name, but that doesn’t seem to be working either.

Thanks,
sparkii

P.S. I can’t figure out how to type backticks so I added spaces

1. Post a new topic.

2. Use the [code] button to insert backticks or simply type around your code.
