  1. Depending on how you generate this page title, you need to pass this through to your JS script.

    You can do this with wp_localize_script()

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script

    So after you have enqueued the script you can then pass parameters through.

    wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script' );
wp_localize_script( 'my-script', 'script_vars', array('site_title' => 'This is my site title' );

    You can then use it in your JS file like this:

    alert(script_vars.site_title);

  3. First, you’ll need to get the title in PHP:

    $title = get_the_title();

    Include your javascript file:

    wp_enqueue_script( 'your-script', '../source/to/your/javascript_file.js' )

    Then you need to send the $title variable to your javascript file using wp_localize_script():

    wp_localize_script( 'your-script', 'script_vars', array('site_title' => $title );

    Now you have access to the site_title in your javascript file by doing so:

    var site_title = script_vars.site_title;
console.log(site_title);

  4. Jquery

    $(document).find("title").text();

    javascript

    document.title

    or

    var sPath=window.location.pathname;
var sPage = sPath.substring(sPath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
alert(sPage);
