Strange Post Title for single post

  • I have a problem that has been bothering me since 09. the most recent post on my site – https://macmcrae.com has a strange title.
    it looks like this: UGA Bulldog Cartoon”>UGA Bulldog Cartoon
    but it should look like this: UGA Bulldog Cartoon
    what do I edit in wordpress to fix this?

    I am sure I could find out how to fix this if I knew better serach terms. Thank you for any help ypu can offer.

  • That sounds like an issue in your current theme’s index.php template file.

    you might have a plugin or filter function activated that works on ‘the_title’ and on capital letters;
    this is from the html in the browser:

    ... title="Permanent link to <span class="caps">UGA</span> Bulldog Cartoon"><span class="caps">UGA</span> Bulldog Cartoon</a>

    or edit the front page template (index.php ?);
    look for (or very similar):

    <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    and replace the first the_title() with the_title_attribute()
