   Hi

   I'm writing a template that applies to several pages. The idea is to perform different actions based on the value of wp_title('',false).

   But I'm stuck because I can't seem to compare the page name generated by wp_title with other strings

   Code:
   

   <?php
   $pagetitle = wp_title('', false);
   if ($pagetitle == "About") :
   ?>
   etc
   <?php endif; ?>

   I'm actually using a switch statement but the problem is the exactly the same in if.

   The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the value returned in $pagetitle is not really a text string? (Although I can echo it as one perfectly well!) If it isn't text, is there a way of converting it into text?

   Thanks!

   Pretty quiet. Have I've offended the forum rules somehow - please let me know!

   Hi Saganaki,

   Thank you for your code, I modifies is

   <?= wp_title('', false); ?>

   you can replace in <title><?= wp_title('', false); ?></title> on header.php

   Sekr.

   Hi Sekr

   Thanks for the response. Not sure I really understand. Trying to get wp_title('',false); to return a value that can be compared against another string.

   Tks
