    Hi,

    I know you can call wp_title() to display post title, but can I display category in the post title? I was playing around with single_cat_title(), but no luck. Anyone knows? Thank you.

    Ok, I understand why single_cat_title() doesn't work. Because a post can belongs to one or more categories( I guess). So, here is my solution:

    I made a function in the Header.php:

    function first_cat_title()
    {
    $cats = get_the_category();
    $firstCat = $cats[0]->cat_name;

    echo $firstCat;
    }

    So it will always display the first category name =)
