[Resolved] Change displayed page title (without changing menu titles)

[Randy]

Hi,
I thought this would be easy, but maybe I’m overlooking something? When I try to use add_filter(‘the_title’) to change a static page title on the fly with php, it also changes menu titles.

This person came up with the answer here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/309151/apply-the-title-filter-in-post-page-title-but-not-in-menu-title#answers

But wanted to check if all of that is necessary or if there’s another generate hook I could use (I saw generate_get_the_title_parameters but couldn’t determine that would work)

Thank you!

Hi there,

see Toms answer here:

The alternative being something like the code you found on Stackoverflow

Cool! Thought I’d check. Was able to make it work with the stackoverflow approach, as convoluted as it seems 😉

Yes the_title() element is a pain – as it is used in may places throughout WP and Plugins.

Glad to hear you got it working.
