& code showing in title

  • When we add <br> to the title format so that the secondary title is displayed on a new line the code appears on the front end of the site:

    %title% <br>%secondary_title%

    I have also tried:
    %title% <p>%secondary_title%</p>

    The results is the same with the <p> & </p> displaying on the front end of the site.

    Could you please advise?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi webdev,

    That sounds like HTML is being escaped, that means that it’s not being rendered but merely displayed.

    Please have a look at the following PHP functions; they might help:

    htmlentities();

    htmlspecialchars();

    htmlspecialchars_decode();

    html_entity_decode();

    You can find the documentation for each function on php.net.

    You then have to hook into a filter, probably get_secondary_title();. You can find a list of all available filter hooks in the documentation.

    Appreciate your response, as I’m having this problem as well.

    I copied/pasted your example (below) though the html wasn’t being rendered.
    <span style=”color:#ff0000;font-size:14px;”>%secondary_title%</span>

    Tough situation, as I don’t know PHP, and it seems like a solution for the plugin might be difficult as well.

    Just a follow up that I’m using Divi. It appears to be interfering somehow
