Description

Displays or returns the month and year title for the current page. This tag only works when the m or archive month argument has been passed by WordPress to the current page (this occurs when viewing a monthly archive page). Note: This tag only works on date archive pages, not on category templates or others.

Usage

<?php single_month_title('prefix', display) ?>

The generated title will be:

prefix + MONTH + prefix + YEAR

If prefix parameter is '*', an example would be:

*February*2004

Examples

Month and Year on New Lines

Displays the title, placing month and year on new lines.

<p><?php single_month_title('<br />') ?></p>

Using $my_month Variable

<?php $my_month = single_month_title('', false); echo $my_month; ?>

Parameters

prefix: (string) Text to place before the title. There is no default.
