Insert text BEFORE the “tag” title

I'd like to insert text BEFORE the "tag" title.

By "tag" I mean the WordPress taxonomy of > 'Categories' and 'Tags'

So, if I create a Tag then GeneratePress just inserts the word that I am using for the tag. If I call the tag "New York" then the page created by GeneratePress just has the title of "New York".

I would like to add text BEFORE the "New York:

The URL is like this: http://my-site.com/tag/new-york/

This works but only for categories - not for 'tags' annoyingly.

Any ideas?

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'custom_taxonomy_archive_title' );
/**
 * Remove archive labels.
 * 
 * @param  string $title Current archive title to be displayed.
 * @return string        Modified archive title to be displayed.
 */
function custom_taxonomy_archive_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_tax('us_state') ) {
        $title = single_term_title( 'Conferences In&nbsp;', false );
    }
    elseif ( is_tax('country') ) {
        $title = single_term_title( 'Conferences In&nbsp;', false );
    }
    return $title;
}

Thanks!

Hi there,

sorry little confused, so are you looking at the permalink structure for the Tag archive or the single post?

I mean to insert text BEFORE the "tag" title into GeneratePress.

So, when you create a "tag" in WordPress is creates an archive for content associated with that "tag"

If the "tag" is labelled as "Apples" then GeneratePress places that label in this HTML:

<header class="page-header">
     <h1 class="page-title">Apples </h1>
</header>

I'd like to be able to place text (probably by using a filter) BEFORE the word "Apples"

Thanks and I hope that makes sense!

You could use a CSS before pseudo element:

body.tag .page-title:before {
    content: 'Before: ';
}

Each tag has its own body class so you can target them specifially e.g body.tag-new-york

Thanks, David

That worked great for the onpage main content header section - but - it doesn't change the <title>Meta Title Tag</title> in the header.

I really would need that to change for SEO - any ideas on possible workaround for that?

Thanks again.

In fact - David, ignore my last point - I can use a SEO Plugin that works great.

As usual - amazing support. Thank You!

Glad we could be of help

Hi David - in fact, I discovered that the solution you gave (which works) doesn't actually generate text WITHIN the actual HTML.

So, if you see an example: https://infosec-conferences.com/city/new-york/

You will see that the title: "Cybersecurity Conferences In" < that is NOT in the <h1 class="page-title"> because it is being entered via the CSS rule you suggested.

Whilst it works for the human, I was kinda hoping Google Bot could also see that which seems it can't so any help/ direction with that would be awesome!

BTW I achieved the above using a functions.php snippets which works great on Custom Post Types & Taxonomy but oddly it didn't work for Generic WordPress Tags:

add_filter( 'get_the_archive_title', 'custom_taxonomy_archive_title' );
/**
 * Remove archive labels.
 * 
 * @param  string $title Current archive title to be displayed.
 * @return string        Modified archive title to be displayed.
 */
function custom_taxonomy_archive_title( $title ) {
    if ( is_tax('us_state') ) {
        $title = single_term_title( 'Cybersecurity Conferences In&nbsp;', false );
    }
    elseif ( is_tax('country') ) {
        $title = single_term_title( 'Cybersecurity Conferences In&nbsp;', false );
    }
    return $title;
}

Have you tried the single_tag_title()
