[Resolved] Adding php snippet

[Dee Broughton]

I read the article about adding a php snippet and took the advice to use the Code Snippets plugin, and copied what I think is the code, but it’s still not doing anything. Is there another step I’m missing somewhere?

Hi Dee,

You can filter the title output by using the the_title filter.

You can try this out.

add_filter('the_title', 'line_break_title');
function line_break_title($title) {
	$title = str_replace(' | ', '<br />', $title);
	return $title;
}

Let us know if it works for you.

Thank you, Elvin! I don’t actually understand why it needs a filter, but it worked great. Thank you very much! 🙂

I believe the snippet you were using was supposed to be used for the_title() function inside your content.php.

Something like this.

the_title( echo str_replace(' | ', '<br />', get_the_title()) );

the_title() function is used to control the title output. Since we went the plugin route, we had to filter what the content.php outputs rather than editing its code.
