Why doesn’t my simple the_title filter get applied?
Try changing this: add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘myfunction’); to this: add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘myfunction’ ); (If this is indeed your problem it is likely an issue of copy/pasting code from a tutorial with curly quotes in place of standard single-quote marks.) p.s. prefix your function name with your Plugin slug. “myfunction” is far too generic.
