None of them (that I have found) let you tap into the posts actual meta data or custom fields. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/262203#post-1045881 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:24:47 +0000 iridiax 1045881@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p><code>&lt;title&gt;</code> is not part of the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop">Loop</a> and the post meta (custom field) functions need to be in the Loop. This is why the easiest option is to just use a custom title plugin for this (the same thing goes for meta descriptions and meta keywords). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/262203#post-1045819 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:20:00 +0000 anewidentity 1045819@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I am running across a problem where I would like to use data from my Custom Fields for use in my TITLE -</p> <p>ie:</p> <p>[theTitle()] at [custom_field_1_shop] in [custom_field_2_city], [custom_field_3_state]<br /> would read:</p> <p><em>HotDogs at Nathan's Hot Dogs in New York, NY</em></p> <p>Here is the code I am using to generate my title currently:</p> <pre><code>&lt;title&gt; &lt;?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(&#39;name&#39;); ?&gt; | &lt;?php bloginfo(&#39;description&#39;); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo &#39; - &#39; ; bloginfo(&#39;name&#39;); } elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title(); echo the_ID(); echo &quot;at &quot;; echo $custom_field_1_shop; echo &quot; in &quot;; echo $custom_field_2_city; echo &quot;,&quot;; echo $custom_field_3_state; } elseif (is_page() ) { bloginfo(&#39;name&#39;); echo &#39;: &#39;; single_post_title(); } else { wp_title(&#39;&#39;,true); } ?&gt; &lt;/title&gt;</code></pre> <p>thanks for the help!<br /> much appreciate! </p>
