[Support request] Custom Page Titles for Post with Taxonomy

[Thomas]

I have a group of blog post i like to Append the text “Product Review” to for the H1 Tag.

Current post titles are just product names.

I can technically just disable the page title manually for each page but there are no easy bulk options. Now this creates complexity in maintaining more code.

I would like to tag these post with a tag “review” and if the post has this tag it overrides the default title + adds “Product Review”

Im open for a cleaner way to going about this.

Hi there,

Would header element with custom field work something like this?

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/header-element-template-tags/#custom_field-name

[Thomas]

Well that is the idea except this is like adding a “Page Title Banner”

All I Like to do is append additional text to the page title so I don’t have to manage any custom design or heading layouts.

Would something like this be possible?

except

if( has_term( ‘jazz’, ‘genre’ ) ) {
// do something
}

Tried looking for a content title filter for singular posts.

What if you created a shortcode?

add_shortcode( 'title_append', function() {
    if ( has_term( 'jazz', 'genre' ) ) {
        return 'Text to append';
    }
} );

Then you can use the [title_append] shortcode.

[Thomas]

How would I go about adding it to the title with the shortcode?

<h1>Page Title [title_append]</h1>

[Tom]

Are these regular titles? Or are you using the Elements module?

[Thomas]

Regular…

[Tom]

Ah, that’s not easy then, unfortunately. WP core does add a filter to the title (called the_title), but that filter applies to everything that has a title (menu items, widget titles, content titles and so on).

The only solution I can think of is to:

1. Disable the regular content title in the theme.
2. Hook in a custom title using Elements.

Let me know if that would work for you and I’ll outline the steps 🙂
