Function Reference/the title attribute

Languages: English • 日本語 • (Add your language)

Contents

Description

Displays or returns the title of the current post. It somewhat duplicates the functionality of the_title(), but provides a 'clean' version of the title for use in HTML attributes by stripping HTML tags and converting certain characters (including quotes) to their character entity equivalent; it also uses query-string style parameters. This tag must be within The Loop.

Usage

 <?php the_title_attribute( $args ); ?> 

Parameters

before
(string) (optional) Text to place before the title.
Default: None
after
(string) (optional) Text to place after the title.
Default: None
echo
(Boolean) (optional) Echo the title or return it for use in PHP.
  • 1 - echo
  • 0 - return
Default: 1

Example 

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute( array('before' => 'Permalink to: ', 'after' => '')); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
