How to get a line break in the content title of pages or posts ?
3 replies · Started by Frans on May 3, 2019
If a content title is too long, Wordpress goes to a second line in the content title. How can this be forced ? I read an idea to use the "|" in the title e.g.
This is a title with a | custom break
and than add
<?php echo str_replace(' | ', '<br />', get_the_title()); ?>
somewhere. I tried to use Elements > Hooks > after_entry_title or before_entry_title, but nothing is replaced.
Is there a solution that works ?

Hi there,
Typically this isn't a good idea, as it can look really funky on mobile/certain screen sizes.
If you really wanted, you might be able to do this:
add_filter( 'the_title', function( $title ) {
return str_replace( ' | ', '<br />', $title );
} );Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
Not sure if it'll work, but it should.
Thanks ! I tried another approach: Subtitle issue
It works with some modifications:
- I installed the WP Subtitle plugin
- Made a hook with elements:
<?php echo '<h2>', the_subtitle(), '</h2>'; ?>
after-entry-title does not work; after_entry_header does work.

Glad you got it working :)
