Title: Shortcode on page title Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Shortcode on page title * Resolved [ankitseth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankitseth/) * (@ankitseth) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/) * Hi, * I want to add a shortcode to my page title. However when I do so it displaces the code. Can you please guide me on what would be the best way to integrate it. * Here’s the URL to my website [http://activitydeck.com/](http://activitydeck.com/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161337) * Hey, With the free theme it’s not possible to add a shortcode to the page title unless you edit the template. the output is ran through a strip html escape for security (a requirement based on the wordpress.org reviews teams input). * You would have to use a child theme and override the templates/page-title.php file. * Just fyi. The premium theme has a built in shortcode option for page titles. * Kadence Themes * Thread Starter [ankitseth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankitseth/) * (@ankitseth) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161383) * Hi, * I was unable to find page-title.php in templates folder. Were you referring to page-header.php? * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161411) * sorry, yes 🙂 * Kadence Themes * Thread Starter [ankitseth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankitseth/) * (@ankitseth) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161424) * Hey, * Sorry to bother you again and again but i wanted to confirm if I am doing it right. In order to override the page-header.php file should it be placed directly inside the child theme folder or should I create a template sub-folder inside the child theme and place the modified php file there. * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161425) * You need to create the templates folder in your child theme and add it there. * Kadence Themes * Thread Starter [ankitseth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankitseth/) * (@ankitseth) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161429) * Hi, * Thanks a ton for your prompt support. I created copies of both page-header.php and page-title-home.php to my child theme and placed them into corresponding folders to match the parent theme. I could see how the html escape is setup in page-title-home.php file. However, any changes that I make are not being reflected on the website. Is there any code overriding it or any setting that I seem to have missed. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161459) * Hey, * Silly question but the child theme is activated right? * Your working on a page right not a post? * If your using caching your clearing it in the plugin settings? * Kadence Themes * Thread Starter [ankitseth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ankitseth/) * (@ankitseth) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161469) * Hey, * You are right, the changes seem to work perfectly on our test environment. It must be one of the reasons that you’ve mentioned. I’ve double checked the child- theme and it seems to be configured correct. The page is set as a page not post. Also, I tested be disabling the cache plugin. But i am still unable to figure what’s holding the changes to get reflected. * I know this issues is no longer related to the theme but is there anything else which you can think of which might be holding the changes. I really appreciate your help with this. * [Ben Ritner – Kadence WP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britner/) * (@britner) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-on-page-title/#post-6161475) * hmm… I can’t think of anything else….
