How to get the primary title only

    When I use get_the_title() to embed title in URL for sharing posts the HTML tags get into the URL too. How can I avoid that?
    I know I can get the secondary title by the_secondary_title(), but don’t know how to get primary title separately so I can concatenate them in the URL when I’m trying to share the posts with.

    Thanks for your message and excuse my late reply.

    Using Secondary Title’s “Auto show” function will activate a hook that modifies WP’s default get_the_title() and the_title() functions. If you’d like to use them without getting the secondary title, you’ll have to deactivate “Auto show”.

    The better solution would be using either the $post global or use get_post() if you’re not within the loop. Here are two examples:

    If you’re in the loop:

    global $post;
echo $post->post_title;

    If not:

    $post_id = 1;
$post = get_post($post_id);
echo $post->post_title;

    I hope I could help.
