Is it possible to show category name as page title?

Hi Ismael,

My client was here this morning and struggled to accept the fact that we would have to create/change the array for all separate categories all the time. This would mean that each time she creates a new category, she would have to ask me to change the functions.php, which doesn’t seem very workable.

So we’ve investigated what could be a workable solution. The idea is that now we present all reviews in one overview on the “Recensies” page (see link below) as well as we present for each book/portfolio the reviews for that specific book/portfolio (see link below).

For the Recensies page we’ve created a main category in posts called “Recensies”.
For the single book/portfolio we’ve created sub categories in posts, in the example called “Recensie Noortje en de paaseitjes”.

After these changes we’ve noticed that the code you’ve provided (#post-871924) does no longer work properly: the single post for “Recensies” now shows again “Berichten” as page title… I hope you are still able to follow what I mean ;-)

Sorry for this, but can you help again please? And see also my question about active menu item for “Recensies”.

Best regards,
Monique

Hi Ismael,

We’re not using portfolio custom post type to create the “recensies”, we’re using normal posts with category “recensies”.

Still I tried your suggestion to change “has_category” to “has_term”, but that doesn’t work.

Please advise.

Best regards,
Monique

Please see below.

Hi,

I am loosing track a bit… :-(

What do you mean by ‘you have to use the same filter’?

Since the slug name is ‘recensies’, do you mean that I have to go back using following code:

add_filter('avf_title_args', 'fix_single_post_title', 10, 2);
function fix_single_post_title($args,$id)
{
    if ( has_category( 'recensies' ) && is_single() )
    {
        $args['title'] = "Recensies";
   }
    return $args;
}

I’ve tried that, but it doesn’t work.

Please advise.

Thanks & regards,
Monique

Hi,

See below. These reviews are all created by posts with main category “recensies”.

They also have a subcategory, but that has another reason and is (as far as I can see) not applicable for changing the post title.

Hi Ismael,

I understand what you’re saying. So for all reviews I’ve now activated both the main category (“Recensies”) and the child category. Strangely enough this works for two of the existing reviews but not for the other two (see below).

As a reminder, the code which we now have in Child functions.php is:

add_filter('avf_title_args', 'fix_single_post_title', 10, 2);
function fix_single_post_title($args,$id)
{
    if ( has_category( 'recensies' ) && is_single() )
    {
        $args['title'] = "Recensies";
   }
    return $args;
}

One more remark: also the two reviews that now give the correct page title, still has the bold active status of “Berichten” in the menu. Is there something that can be done to also change that?

Thanks & regards,
Monique
