  • wp_title() generates the content for the <title> tag in the page’s <head>. It isn’t ordinarily displayed in the page body, and I don’t believe you can style the <title> at all. I’ve never seen it styled, but I guess I’ve never thought about it either. Maybe it is possible, but I don’t think so. The point is that the function isn’t really designed for what you want, so it isn’t geared for styling.

    You need to call it like $my_wp_title = wp_title('',false);, then take that string, manipulate it, and then echo it.

					if (!empty($title)) {
						echo $title;
					} else {
						_e('(untitled)', PADD_THEME_SLUG);
					}
				?>
			</a>

    kind regards

    You will need to alter your $title using something like the suggestions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2476789/how-to-get-first-word-of-a-sentence-in-php

    I’d probably do something like:

    echo '<span class="title-first">',substr($title,0,strpos($title,' ')),'</span>',substr($title,strpos($title,' '));

    And it wouldn’t hurt to run striptags(...) on the title first.

    Then you can style the span with CSS.
