You are using the default page loop and it will output the current page attributes like title or other. You should create your own loop with custon query instead. See WP_Query or get_posts. Example $query = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posta_status’ => ‘publish’, )); if($query->have_posts()){ while($query->have_posts()){ $query->the_post(); echo get_the_title(); } wp_reset_postdata(); }
The problem is that get_the_title() will pass the title through a filter that texturizes the quotes. So a regular ” becomes a curly quote (“) and urlencode() will break it. So instead, write your own title function and use that: function my_get_the_title() { global $post; return $post->post_title; } This should bypass any unwanted filters and … Read more
You’re getting there! Couple of issues – you need to actually grab the latest posts before you can work on them. And post_title is not a property of the ID, but the object itself: if ( $posts = get_posts( ‘numberposts=1’ ) ) { $title = $posts[0]->post_title; // carry on sir } Note: Ensure you have … Read more
Making Milos’s comment into an answer…. The problem you are facing is the result of many wordpress template oriented functions expect some global variables. In WP_Query based loops setting those variable is done by calling the the_post() method of the WP_Query object, but with get_posts you need to call setup_postdata() for that. My personal preference … Read more
You have 2 options: Use ellipsis by pure CSS Add this rule to your CSS file. This will add … whenever the title is longer than its parent DIV. .FacetFeatured a{ white-space: nowrap; overflow:hidden; text-overflow:ellipsis } .FacetFeatured{ max-width: 100px // Change this to fit your grid } This is only done by using CSS. Strip … Read more
If you refer to the post title you need to hook your function to the_title filter like explained in the codex. add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘my_custom_title’, 10, 2); If you refer to the HTML meta in your page then you need to hook your function to document_title_parts filter explained here. add_filter(‘document_title_parts’, ‘my_custom_title’, 10, 2); The two filters work … Read more
single_post_title() and get_the_title() work completely differently. get_the_title() (or the_title(), which works the same) will get the title for the current post in the loop: <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); the_title(); endwhile; endif; ?> So it’s the function to use to get the post title for each post in … Read more
There’s a few ways to do this, but I would argue that the preferred way is, in general, fetching the post_title attribute from the post object. This does not depend on removing all filters for a certain function and adding them back later — the latter requires you to directly access the global $wp_filter. get_post … Read more
The function the_title() is just a wrapper around the function get_the_title(). It’s understandably confusing that the filter the_title actually exists inside get_the_title(). So, whatever the function you’re using to actually display it, it doesn’t matter, you can filter its content by hooking into the_title
To set the title before it is saved, hook into wp_insert_post_data: add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘wpse_75597_change_title’ ); function wpse_75597_change_title( $post_data ) { $post_data[‘post_title’] = ‘SOMETHING VERY LOUD’; return $post_data; }
