Adding A Shortcode To The Post Title

If you like color like I do, then perhaps you’d want to put a splash of color into your entry titles – kind of like I did above. It’s pretty easy to do:

1. Add the following to your functions.php file

// ADD GREEN SHORTCODE

add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' ); // allows shortcode in the title

add_shortcode( 'green', 'green_shortcode' );  // create the shortcode called green

function green_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
return '<span class="green">' . $content . '</span>';
}

2. Add this to your child theme stylesheet:

.green {
color: #b8c973;
}


3. The entry title line looks like this:

That’s it!
