[Resolved] Add Page Title in Page Header

[Lynn Leon]

I would like to add a page title in a page Header dynamically. I’m not an expert. Can somebody help me?
Thank you
Lyn

How are you adding the page header? Manually on each page?

[Lynn Leon]

yes Im adding page header. My question is there some shortcode o code to add page title. Thank you

You could create a shortcode which will output the page title:

add_shortcode( 'page_title','tu_page_title_shortcode' );
function tu_page_title_shortcode()
{
    return get_the_title();
}

Then you could use it as:

[page_title]

Thank you Tomy.

Geez, why not for title just implement a simple shortcode

Hi there,

the latest version of WP provides a Post Title Block…. a lot has changed since this 5 year old topic 🙂

Hey David,

That’s still not the same as Page Title right? What’s the best current way to be able to style a page title of a category archive page? I would like to be able to add it inside of a container if possible.

Hi Kar,

You can use a GenerateBlocks Headline Block.

You can retrieve the Page/Post title with that through its Dynamic Settings: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/headline-overview/#dynamic-data

Thanks for the quick reply Fernando. I did a quick test.

It just seems to grab the post title of my first post here.

Try adding it through the Dynamic setting in the toolbar. Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/jkuXxm4O

Wrong link? Example refers to this page.

[Fernando]

Sorry about that. I corrected it now.

[Kar Yung]

Can confirm it works but now I want to at least understand why for future use?
