Change WordPress Post Title Placeholder

2 Views

I’m Creating a custom post type and want to manipulate the placeholder text within the title field of the Create New Post section.

Requirements:
– It can only be for one specific post type, not for all posts.
– It cannot reflect the name of the post type, it must be completely custom text.
– It does not have to be editable from the wordpress admin section, the custom text can be placed within the function in the functions.php file.

  1. You can place this snippet in your functions.php

    function change_default_title( $title ){

$screen = get_current_screen();

if ( 'your_custom_post_type' == $screen->post_type ){
$title = 'Your custom placeholder text';
}

return $title;
}

add_filter( 'enter_title_here', 'change_default_title' );

    That should change the titel.

  2. You can also used this for multiple post types

    add_filter('enter_title_here', 'my_title_place_holder' , 20 , 2 );
    function my_title_place_holder($title , $post){
        // For Activities
    if( $post->post_type == 'activities' ){
        $my_title = "Activity Name";
                return $my_title;
    }
        // For Instructors
    elseif( $post->post_type == 'instructors' ){
            $my_title = "Instructor Name";
                return $my_title;
    }

    return $title;
        }
