How to tag to TITLE only?

You simply have to add whatever you want before the title in the loop. This means that you have to edit your themes files but there’s nothing tricky to it. For example inside a loop it would be something like:

<?php 
if ( have_posts() ) {
	while ( have_posts() ) {
		the_post(); 
?>
<h1 class="post-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read: <?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<?php		
	} // end while
} // end if
?>

thanks for reply, i look up the ‘Loop’ Here https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/basics/the-loop/
and after i put in the loop codes my website crash ‘website programing error or under constructions’,but i have backup the theme.
i just want to make ‘How To’ Text appear in post and not appear in other pages. can somebody see how i can do it? Thanks!!!

can someone suggest me a link for loop Easy toturial.

Hello again,

The code you provided is probably from the wrong file. I don’t know your theme though so it’s a little hard to tell you exactly where to put it but usually there will be a single.php that handles the post’s page so probably we’ll have to make the edits there.

If your theme is free and open sourced you can give me a link to check it and tell you what you need to change. If it’s not free then you can contact the Author of the theme as you paid for it he should be more than willing to help you as well.

As for the loop that you asked here’s a reference page: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/themes/basics/the-loop/
