    Hi there,

    I am using the Enfold Avia ‘Blog Post’ content element to display posts from categories. For single post pages, I would like to change the default title on single.php blog pages from ‘Blog – Latest News’ to the category in which the post belongs.

    I have copied single.php to my child theme to edit, and understand I need to change the line:
    $title = __('Blog - Latest News', 'avia_framework'); //default blog title
    to use something like this instead:
    <?php the_category(' '); ?>
    but I’m just not quite sure if that is correct/where to put it/how to get it to work and keep the existing formatting. Your guidance is appreciated!
    – Jill

    Hey Jill!

    Try the following:

    $title = get_the_category();

    Best regards,

    Hi Josue,
    Tried that and it returns the text “Array” rather than the category. Other ideas? thanks, Jill

    Can you create an administrator account and post it here as a private reply?

    Hi!

    Try to replace

    
$title = __('Blog - Latest News', 'avia_framework'); //default blog title

    with

    
$categories = get_the_category();
$title = '';
if($categories){
	foreach($categories as $category) {
		$title .= $category->cat_name . ' ';
	}
}

    Best regards,
    Peter
