Custom Title

boody29,

You can do this with the aioseop_title filter; here’s an example:

add_filter('aioseop_title', 'sfwd_custom_title');

function sfwd_custom_title($title) {
   if ( is_single(3335) ) {
        $title = "Symptoms of Depression in Women";
   }
   return $title;
}

thx Peter,
so where to put that filter?
and is 3335 the post id?
what if i wanna do this for multiple posts?
is this available in pro version or something?

boody29,

You can put that code in a plugin, or in the functions.php in your theme. Yes, 3335 is the post id; if you want to do it for multiple posts, you can specify multiple post ids, for example is_single( Array( 3335,3337,3210 ) ) will work for this; or, you could add additional if statements. You can do this same exact thing in the Pro version, but there aren’t currently any additional features for this in the plugin.

Hi peter,
thanks a million for your swift replay,but in the given example they will all share the same title, i am sure that you already know its not desired to share titles .. so if i have a blog with 800 posts to optimize
400 will do the default %post_title% | %blog_title%
and the remain shall do them manually,
is there anyway to do this via the admin area , maybe the custom title custom field , maybe change its purpose to just echo the custom title without the | %blog_title% ….
really appreciate your response..

boody29,

Yes, you can do all this with custom code; that was just an example to get you started. Here’s another way to do it, with the title custom field:

add_filter('aioseop_title', 'sfwd_custom_title');

function sfwd_custom_title($title) {
   global $post;
   if ( is_single(3335) ) {
        $title = get_post_meta( $post->ID, "_aioseop_title", true );
   }
   return $title;
}
