Hi all, pretty much a newbie to PHP so please be gentle and keep it simple…
I am trying to change the browser tab title “on the fly” for certain WP pages.
Following some ideas elsewhere I have the following:-
In the content-page.php of my template I have added
global $new_title;
$new_title = 'My New Title';
change_title ();
-------------------
In functions.php I have
-------------------
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'change_title');
function change_title () {
global $new_title;
var_dump ($new_title);
return $new_title;
}
This doesn’t work. Although var_dump shows a correct string the tab title is not changed.
However, if I change the return statement to
return "abcdefg";
Then the tab title is updated correctly.
I know it must be something bleedingly obvious, but I have spent hours on this trying all sorts of things. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks
