Hi @Kossal,

Weird, it should work. Can you confirm that the section title is in the section_settings table?

Can’t reproduce it with the version specified. Annotation of the article.tpl says that it’s an Article object, so the method should work. It’s hard to say what’s happening here. It’s localized setting, I would check just in case if the section title is present for the locale you are working with. E.g., if the section id is 1 and locale is English you can find the section in the database with:

SELECT setting_value FROM section_settings WHERE section_id = '1' AND locale = 'en_US' AND setting_name = 'title'

If it return setting_value, I’m not sure where to find the cause without some debugging.
