Amend 'Post Title' in Twenty Eleven?

  • Hi,

    I would like to add some text to the beginning of my post title, in all my posts.

    I have looked at various files [single.php etc] but can’t find where to place my text in the code.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    ??

    Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes.

    You can download a pre-made Twenty Eleven child theme from here.

    Look for <?php the_title(); ?>. And put some text in front of it.
    Template files you have to edit and put in your child theme:
    content-aside.php
    content-featured.php
    content-gallery.php
    content-image.php
    content-intro.php
    content-link.php
    content-page.php
    content-quote.php
    content-single.php
    content-status.php
    content.php
    image.php
    showcase.php

    Or put this in your child theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter('the_title','before_title');
function before_title($title){
// change 'my text before title ' to what you want to appear before the title
return 'my text before title ' . $title;
}
