Using WordPress shortcode in a title

2 comments

1. You could try adding a filter to the title in the functions.php file such as:

   add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' );
   

   Seems to work for me, however it may play havoc with your permalink’s and I wouldn’t recommend it.

2. Add the following filter to functions.php as mentioned by David

   add_filter( 'the_title', 'do_shortcode' );
   

   However, this approach may not work if you are using the Yoast SEO plugin. For that, you need to add the following filter too:

   add_filter( 'wpseo_title', 'do_shortcode' );
