cannot exclude element

Hi,
great, thanks, now the noTypo class is added to the title.

But look what happens:

My current post title is dewidowed too as a result, and as a single word is hanging in the last row, it’s ugly.

That’s why I would need to limit dewidowing to a grid, or limit inclusion to wpTypography.

Is it possible to exclude classes like this:
.related_grid_column .noTypo
?

Then I could restrict it to that grid.

Oh no it’s not possible because .related_grid_column is in the HTML, not in the_title itself.

You can always tweak the de-widowing parameters. But really, you are better off disabling it completely. What you intend to do is probably possible, but not with your level of PHP/WordPress knowledge.

Ok.
Thanks for the advice.

Now everything is okay, almost. the_content is included, the titles in my related posts are excluded, because all titles are excluded – using the global hook that you suggested.

But now I would need to re-include my titles in my breadcrumbs, because only the related posts titles should be excluded.

Is there a way to make breadcrumbs an exception for this global hook that you suggested:

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {

    return "<span class="noTypo">$title</span>";
}

add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );

Something like add the class to the_title except if the_title is in the breadcrumbs.

That would solve my problem.

But I was told it’s not possible to check where global hooks like this are used.

Hi there,

The global function above is adding the span also in the backend titles:

What would be the correct conditional to add to exclude the backend?

Thanks in advance.

if (! is_admin() ) {
    add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );
}

This is my code now:

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
   if (! is_admin() ) {
    return "<span class='noTypo'>$title</span>";
}

add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );
}

– it removes the span from the backend, but also from the frontend.
PHP checker found no issues:

Well, that’s not what I suggested.

Gotcha, corrected it to:

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
 
    return "<span class='noTypo'>$title</span>";
}

if (! is_admin() ) {
    add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );
}

Thanks!

Is there a way to exclude the current post in this filter?

I tried something like this:

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
 
    return "<span class='noTypo'>$title</span>";
}

$current_id = function_exists( 'vcex_get_the_ID' ) ? vcex_get_the_ID() : get_the_ID();
if $title !== get_the_title( $current_id ) )  {
   
 

    add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );

}

But it results in a critical error.

I got inspired from this snippet:

add_shortcode( 'bbpresscomments', function() {
    $output     = '';
    $current_id = function_exists( 'vcex_get_the_ID' ) ? vcex_get_the_ID() : get_the_ID();
    $topics = new WP_Query( array(
        'post_type' => 'topic',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'fields' => 'ids',
    ) );
    if ( $topics->have_posts() ) {

        foreach( $topics->posts as $topic ) {
            if ( get_the_title( $topic ) == get_the_title( $current_id ) ) {
                $output .= do_shortcode( '[bbp-single-topic id="' . intval( $topic ) . '"]' );
            }
        }
    }
    return $output;
} );

Vcex is my theme prefix.

Then I tried something like this to limit adding the class to the title in my related posts (that would be the goal – but they are the same post type as the posts where I do want to widowing):

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
 
    return "<span class='noTypo'>$title</span>";
}

$referer = wp_get_referer();
            $post_id = wp_doing_ajax() ? url_to_postid( $referer ) : $post->ID;
            $related = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'related_post_ids', true );

           
if (! is_admin() ) {
     if (  empty( $related ) ) {
 

    add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );

}
}

But this also didn’t work.

I have also tried this to exclude the current post:

function add_notypo_to_title( $title ) {
 
    return "<span class='noTypo'>$title</span>";
}

global $wp_query;
$exclude = $wp_query->post->ID;

if( $exclude != get_the_ID() ) {

    add_filter( 'the_title', 'add_notypo_to_title', 10, 1 );

}

But this code will not add the class anywhere.

Hi @erikalleman, depending on your exact understanding of “the current post”, yes there are ways to achieve that, but this is all going way beyond wp-Typography support questions. Therefore, I’d ask you to direct your questions to the appropriate fora on this site (and perhaps read a few tutorials on WordPress programming concepts beforehand).

I will post to the other forums.
Thanks.
