   I've searched through other support tickets and can't quite find the right answer for this...

   We would like to use the Choices Latest News widget in the footer twice - once for one category and once for another. When you click on any post now, the heading on the page is Blog - Latest News.
   I understand how to change that in the single.php file, but we really would like it to display the category name. For example, Latest Post: Good Links and Articles (that being the category name).
   And then for the other category, Latest Post: Catherine's Blog

   Any help is most appreciated!

   Here is the site:

   Hey!

   In single.php replace:

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

   with:

   $cats  = get_the_category();
   $title = $cats[0]->cat_name;

   and the post category will be used as title.

   Best regards,
   Peter

   Thanks Peter,
   I did this and it sort of worked.... But what is showing is the word Array instead of the category name!
   Any idea why?
   For example:

   Hi!

   Whoops - the return value is an array in this case - I adjusted the code above.

   Best regards,
