Adding post type name before title on archive page
1 reply · Started by Nikolas on April 25, 2021
Hello,
When you perform a search on my site, the archive page displays a list of all results. Is it possible that the post type would be displayed before the title in the results? I have a few CPT:s and it would be easier for the user to grasp the results if the post type would be seen...
So let's say I perform a search "apples", and then there's results from multiples different post types (for example: "projects", "news"). In the results they would be display as: "News - This is a post about apples", or "Project - Growing apples". Would this be possible to achieve with a hook?
Hi there,
It's definitely possible to display it but I'm not exactly sure how you want it styled.
You can either filter the_title, or use the generate_before_entry_title
Example: using generate_before_entry_title.
add_action('generate_before_entry_title',function(){
$post_type = get_post_type( get_the_ID() );
$post_obj = get_post_type_object( $post_type );
$post_name = $post_obj->labels->singular_name;
echo '<h2 class="post-name">'. $post_name .'</h2>';
});Example #2: using filter.
add_filter( 'the_title', function( $title ){
$post_type = get_post_type( get_the_ID() );
$post_obj = get_post_type_object( $post_type );
$post_name = $post_obj->labels->singular_name;
return $post_name.' - '.$title;
});
