How to get post type of ANOTHER post

    I have a filter to change the title of posts. I used get_post_type() to apply it only to post types. However, this gets the post type of the current page, not the page whose title I want to change.

    This is a problem on the front page, where I have featured pages (not post type) and recent posts (is post types). It’s also a problem on the menu, which links to pages that aren’t post type. But if, for example, I’m on a page of type post, the titles of the menu pages will also be altered.

    How do I set the conditional to get the post type of the target post, and not the page that I’m currently on?

    what is the exact code you are using?

    what theme are you using?

    https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_type

    as you see from the Codex docu, you can use an ID in the code.

    Hi Michael,

    Code is below. Since it will be referring to several pages and not just one, what would the post_id argument be to make the snippet dynamic?

    add_filter(‘get_the_title’, ‘aggregate_title’, 10, 2);

    function aggregate_title ($title) {

    if (‘post’ == get_post_type()) {

    $my_title = get_field(‘day’);
    $new_title = ‘Day ‘ . $my_title . ‘: ‘ . $title;
    return $new_title;

    } else {

    return $title;

    }
    }
