Occasionally, you might want to prepend a custom text to posts titles of a specific category. For instance, you would like to automatically display “[Sponsored]” right before titles of your sponsored posts.
Below is the code to conditionally prepend custom text to post titles in WordPress.
| <?php | |
| //* Conditionally prepend custom text to post titles in WordPress | |
| add_filter('the_title', 'customprefix_prepend_text', 10, 2); | |
| function customprefix_prepend_text($title, $id) { | |
| if (is_feed() && in_category('custom-category', $id)) { | |
| $title = '<span class="custom-class">Custom text:</span> ' . $title; | |
| } | |
| return $title; | |
| } |
