[Resolved] suffix title with multiple functions

[Pete]

How would I edit this code to suffix the post title with the author’s nickname (display name) AND keep the current post ID suffix as well?

add_filter( 'the_title', 'gowp_post_id_title_suffix' ); // registers our action filter; the 2nd parameter is the name of the function we'll use to return the (possibly) updated title
function gowp_post_id_title_suffix( $title ) {
	global $post; // get the current post object
	if ( ( 'job_listing' == $post->post_type ) && in_the_loop() ) { // only apply our change to Posts while in the loop
		$title .= " #{$post->ID}"; // append the post ID to the title
	}
	return $title; // return the title, even if we haven't modified it
}

This isn’t exactly GP General Support 😉

Something like this may work?

add_filter( 'the_title', 'gowp_post_id_title_suffix' ); // registers our action filter; the 2nd parameter is the name of the function we'll use to return the (possibly) updated title
function gowp_post_id_title_suffix( $title ) {
	$user_nickname = get_the_author_meta( 'nickname' );
	global $post; // get the current post object
	if ( ( 'job_listing' == $post->post_type ) && in_the_loop() ) { // only apply our change to Posts while in the loop
		$title .= " #{$post->ID} {$user_nickname}"; // append the post ID to the title
	}
	return $title; // return the title, even if we haven't modified it
}

Sorry Tom 🙂

[Tom]

No worries! Let me know if that works or not 🙂

[Pete]

Nothing changed

Hmm.. How about:

add_filter( 'the_title', 'gowp_post_id_title_suffix' ); // registers our action filter; the 2nd parameter is the name of the function we'll use to return the (possibly) updated title
function gowp_post_id_title_suffix( $title ) {
	$user_nickname = get_the_author_meta( 'nickname' );
	global $post; // get the current post object
	if ( ( 'job_listing' == $post->post_type ) && in_the_loop() ) { // only apply our change to Posts while in the loop
		$title .= ' #' . $post->ID . ' ' . $user_nickname; // append the post ID to the title
	}
	return $title; // return the title, even if we haven't modified it
}

You may have to adjust the $user_nickname variable using this function to debug: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_author_meta

A big fat white screen 🙂 It’s ok I’ll hunt it down on the WP support forum. Thanks anyway.

[Tom]

Really? I’m not seeing what could cause a white screen – were there any errors?

[Pete]

Nope just white.

That’s the worst – what about with WP DEBUG turned on?: http://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
