single_cat_title()
Display or retrieve page title for category archive.

Uses: single_term_title()
No Hooks.
Return
String|null. Title when retrieving.
Usage
single_cat_title( $prefix, $display );
- $prefix(string)
- What to display before the title.
Default: '' - $display(true|false)
- Whether to display or retrieve title.
Default: true
Examples
#1 Display the category or tag name on the archive page
This example will display the text "You are browsing: WordPress", where WordPress is the name of the current category:
<p><?php single_cat_title( 'You are browsing: ' ); ?>.</p>
#2 Write the name of the category in a variable
An example of how you can write a category name to the variable $current_cat_name, i.e. not display it on the screen (set the second parameter to 0).
$current_cat_name = single_cat_title( '', 0 ); echo $current_cat_name;
