Question

I was working on a header that could be used universally for my site. Unfortunately, this also includes a lot of conditional checking for WordPress functions, so that I end up with the correct data for headings. I have a piece of code that checks to see if the function that provides a title for WordPress pages exists. If it does, it then checks to see if that function returns anything. If it doesn’t, it prints a default title. Otherwise, it prints the title and appends a standard title to it. My problem is that it seems to print the title, and then appends the default title. So instead of printing: “pageTitle-append” it prints “pageTitleStandardTitle-append”. Here’s my code:

if(function_exists('wp_title')):
    if(wp_title()):
        wp_title();
        echo ' - Standard Appended Title';
    else:
        echo 'Blog - Standard Appended Title';
    endif;
else:
    echo $title.' - Standard Appended Title';
endif;

Answer 1

This should do it :

if(function_exists('wp_title')) {

    $wp_title = wp_title(false,false,false);

    if($wp_title) {

        echo $wp_title;

    } else {

        echo 'Blog';
    }

} else {

    echo $title;

}

echo ' - Standard Appended Title';
