Custom Post Type – Archive page title

4 comments

1. You can use is_archive conditional code in your header.php to control the title

       <?php if(is_archive()): ?>
       <title>Archive page</title>
       <?php else: ?>
       <title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
       <?php endif; ?>
   

2. You can add a filter in the file functions.php of your template.
   It modify the archive page meta title of the custom post type ‘myCPT’

   function new_cpt_archive_title($title){
   
       if ( is_post_type_archive('myCPT') ){
           $title = 'My Custom post type archive - ' . get_bloginfo('name');
           return $title;
       }
   
       return $title;
   } 
   
   add_filter( 'pre_get_document_title', 'new_cpt_archive_title', 9999 );
   

3. Yes and there’s several ways to do it.

   Hook it in from your child themes functions file

   function wpsites_add_cpt_archive_page_title() {
   
   if ( is_post_type_archive( 'your-cpt-name' ) )
   
   echo '<h1 class="entry-title">Your CPT Archive Title</h1>';
   
   }
   
   add_action('genesis_before_content', 'wpsites_add_cpt_archive_page_title');
   

   The above code snippet uses the genesis_before_content hook which you can change to a theme specific hook or a WordPress hook like loop_start.

   You can also add support for a custom post type archive settings page in the code which creates the CPT if your theme supports it.

4. You can use this now

   <?php 
   if(archive()) {
     if (have_posts() ) :
       the_archive_title( '<h1 class="page-title">', '</h1>' );
       while ( have_posts() ) : 
         the_post();
       endwhile;
     endif; 
   }
   ?>
   

   or

   <?php
   $post_archive = post_type_archive_title('', false);
   ?>
   

   to answer the post

   <?php if ( is_post_type_archive() ) { ?>
   <title><?php post_type_archive_title(); ?></title>
   <?php } ?>
