Wordpress尝试在循环数组中使用get_title（）作为类别名称

Question

On my wordpress page template Im trying to use the get_title() in my arguments array for the a loop but i cant get it to return any posts.

This is where im up to;

<?php 
            $args = array( 
                      'category_name' => 'the_title();'
                   );

            $the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

            <div class="entry"><?php the_content(); ?></div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

    <p>Sorry, there are no posts to display</p>

<?php endif; ?>

Im unable to get any posts to return on this page unless i manually enter the slug for the category i want to use which is not ideal as the page slug will always be the same as the post category slug.

My logic behind this is that i dont want to have an individual page templeate for each page with the different cat as i will end up with hundreds of page templetes.

Any help appreciated Cheers Jon

You're passing the_title(); as a string do to ' '. Also, the_title() gets title of the object in the loop, not of a category.
You can do the following:

 global $post; 
 $args = array('category_name' => $post->post_name);
