if “custom post type” display this

    Hi All, I have to post types (Core posts & ‘Awards’) when you go to an archive page it displays all post types regardless if core or ‘Awards’ which I want! BUT What I would like to do is add a line before each post type ‘Awards’

    For intance: if the ‘Awards’ post title is “Kansas Firefighters Museum” instead I’d like it to say “Awards: Kansas Firefighters Museum”

    I’m no wordpress expert, but logically the code would look *somthing* like this.

    <?php if ( get_post_type() === 'awards' ) { 
    Awards: 
} ?> } else { Posts: <?php the_title(); ?>

    I hope this is making sense.

    I assume you want to modify the title in archives? e.g. Posts: Title , Awards Title

    So logically

    filter the title
    if not archive page
       return  the title unchanged
     if an awards post
          return title as Awards: title
     return  title as Posts: title

    Is that enough to get you on the right track?

    Post your revised code to check

    Thank you for the reply, this sounds what I am looking for, but I do not know how to turn that into the right code… Any further code you can provide? Thank you in advance! I think this will do the trick.

    Have a go at it and then I / others can improve

    I figured out a simpler way to do it! 

    add_action ('the_title' , 'endangered', 10, 2);
function endangered($title, $id) {
  return 'post' === get_post_type($id) ? '<div>Endangered:</div> ' . $title : $title;
}

add_action ('the_title' , 'awards', 10, 2);
function awards($title, $id) {
  return 'awards' === get_post_type($id) ? '<div>Awards:</div> ' . $title : $title;
}

    I just added this to functions and POOF! Thank you for your help!

    That is good you have worked out a solution.

    If that is what you want ( it is different to what you described ) and not really as easy to read as a single function in my opinion.

    As the title is changed every where that title is got in side a loop, single page or archive page.
