This plugin works best if you don’t have to type in anything into the post title in the post edit screen. Wouldn’t it be great if you could ignore the title input all together, here’s how…
add this code to your functions.php
add_filter('pre_post_title', 'wpse28021_mask_empty');
add_filter('pre_post_content', 'wpse28021_mask_empty');
function wpse28021_mask_empty($value)
{
if ( empty($value) ) {
return ' ';
}
return $value;
}
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'wpse28021_unmask_empty');
function wpse28021_unmask_empty($data)
{
if ( ' ' == $data['post_title'] ) {
$data['post_title'] = '';
}
if ( ' ' == $data['post_content'] ) {
$data['post_content'] = '';
}
return $data;
}This is working for me great, but I can’t seem to get it to work with my ACF custom fields. For example, I have an ACF field with a field name of job_duration and it’s corresponding field key field_561213d95df61. I’ve tried both [job_duration] and [field_561213d95df61] in the post title format but it is not working.
Hi!
Great plugin!
I just wonder whether it is possible to use the auto post title also as automatic post url…?
This would be awesome!
Because now I do have to add a title by hand in order to make the post be saved, don`t I?
]]>Hi,
the plugin doesn’t change the post title when there is a “‘” character used in the original post title, how can i fix this?
regards
]]>addding title [author]
and showing like [author] dont post any name or sth.
Would be great if it could work for excerpts also…
]]>First?
In my case it is showing is the last category.
What is the criterion? Hierarchy or ID? Or neither, since here is not respecting neither.

Great plugin,
however I would need it to make my titles pemanent because I convert them to custom fields later…
even better would be if it could make a custom field with generated title…
possible?
Thanks!
p.s. how about switching original with generated title in RSS?
]]>Hi,
I wonder if it can be set that the color of the titles is different on specific tag.
Example:
My theme has blue titles, and when I pull in the custom field into the title, then it also becomes blue, but I would like to make it black or something..
Thanks.
Mike
I love the possibilities of this, but can’t get the title to include the “time”. What am I doing wrong here?
Photo for [date format=”n/j/Y”] @ [date format=”h:i:s A”]
EDIT: it’s showing the time now, but always: 00:00:00. Ideas, please? Thanks!
]]>This plugin is great!
But I would like to use different rules for different categories.
For example:
I have some daily content categories that you would like to be the date shown, but I have other categories of sporadic publication in which it is not interesting to the publication date in the title.
I came across this plugin which I see it very useful, but still not what I need… I’m looking for a solution which will add “expired” to expired posts… or
Expires on [exp_date_time] – tag pulled from custom field…
Another plugin exists that can generate title from different custom fields, but it can’t add author etc, so combining them would be great..
]]>Hello,
Great plugin; this has been a real asset recently.
I’m using it to set the Custom Post Type title to the term from a Custom Taxonomy… works great but I could really do with it also using the terms parent term in the name too. Possible?
Thanks
]]>Using Auto Post Plugin to change the title of a post (I’ve included the category name) results in social sharing plugins becoming corrupt.
WP Tweet Button is the ony Twitter plugin I’ve foind to be compatible with Auto Post Title.
I have not found a Facebook share button that works (incorrect title is displayed on Facebook link). Has anyone else had this problem?
]]>This plugin works perfectly for every post ….. except one! Does anyone know why it could be? The one post is https://www.wordsaboutmusic.co.uk/12/2010/live/phosphorescent-hoxton-bar-grill-monday/
]]>I’m using your plugin to display users’ names in the title field automatically in a custom post type, using the [author] code.
I’ve removed support for a title field in the custom post type to prevent users from typing in anything there at all.
This works well but the permalink generated is “https://localhost/testsite/testcpt/auto-draft/”
I’d like it to be “https://localhost/testsite/testcpt/display-name/”
Can I do that with your plugin?
]]>Hi,
Thanks for the plugin!
How can I get this to work with only certain custom post types? As far as I can see, it only supports posts, pages and profiles.
]]>This small plugin is awesome and very useful! But there is a small problem: my custom title shows everywhere except <title></title> tag. How to fix it?
]]>Can you add support for the post’s category?
Thanks
