I need to create a function so that I can use that inside any page which is outside the WordPress regular page. I mean wp_head()
will not be placed there. I need it for a purpose.
The purpose is for AMP (ampproject.org) a page where I can't use any CSS or JavaScript. That's why I need this; I need to place a function at wp_title()
so that the Yoast title be placed there.
I need something like this:
function yoastVariableToTitle($variable){
return yoast_vaialble_to_show_title($variable);
}
By Default Yoast takes a format as
%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
, and stores inwp_postmeta
table under_yoast_wpseo_title
key.
To only get Title of the page/post:
function yoastVariableToTitle($post_id) {
$yoast_title = get_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', true);
$title = strstr($yoast_title, '%%', true);
if (empty($title)) {
$title = get_the_title($post_id);
}
return $title;
}
There can be 2 possibility with SEO title
Case I: Admin enters %%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
in SEO title field then the above code will return Post/Page default title.
Case II: Admin enters My Custom Title %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
in SEO title field then the above code will return My Custom Title.
To get the full Meta Title of the page/post:
function yoastVariableToTitle($post_id) {
$yoast_title = get_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', true);
$title = strstr($yoast_title, '%%', true);
if (empty($title)) {
$title = get_the_title($post_id);
}
$wpseo_titles = get_option('wpseo_titles');
$sep_options = WPSEO_Option_Titles::get_instance()->get_separator_options();
if (isset($wpseo_titles['separator']) && isset($sep_options[$wpseo_titles['separator']])) {
$sep = $sep_options[$wpseo_titles['separator']];
} else {
$sep = '-'; //setting default separator if Admin didn't set it from backed
}
$site_title = get_bloginfo('name');
$meta_title = $title . ' ' . $sep . ' ' . $site_title;
return $meta_title;
}
Hope this helps!
