I’m mucking around in my wordpress theme’s loop_single.php to output the post title in lowercase.

My content has non-ascii chars so I thought the following would work:

<?php echo mb_strtolower(the_title()); ?>

But it does not work. It just outputs the title in the way it’s written.

How about just using CSS?

h1.post-title { /* or whatever the selector is */
    text-transform: lowercase;
}
