Question

Is there a way to remove the blank space between the words in the the_titel?

Example:

the_title() on one of my posts results in Merry Christmast

I want it to result in merrychristmast

Which means that I want to remove the blank space and use lowercase only.

Thanks

Edit: I was actually looking for a solution to the the_title-tag not the wp_title-tag. Sorry..

Answer 1

Doing it for wp_title();

I combined those two answers posted by Anthony and rzetterberg.
Use str_replace();. It’s faster for trivial replacements than RegEx. And if you add the necessary arguments to your wp_title(); we’ll end up like this. Please note, that you’ll have to add the strtolower(); function so that your title is displayed in lower case only.

<?php
    echo strtolower(str_replace(' ', '', wp_title('', false)));
?>

Doing it for the_title();

It’s quite the same technique I posted earlier. You’ll just have to change the arguments for the_title($before, $after, $echo);.

<?php
    echo strtolower(str_replace(' ', '', the_title('', '', false)));
?>

Note: Instead of using the_title('', '', false) you could prepend it with a get_. It does the same and fits your needs better.

<?php
    echo strtolower(str_replace(' ', '', get_the_title()));
?>
