Get the title of current post

    Hi,

    I’m using the plugin because it’s really lightweight in comparison to other get_the_content plugins.

    Everything works really fine but I have one problem in combination with one of my own shortcodes.

    I did this in functions.php:

    function get_title_shortcode(){
	return get_the_title();
}
add_shortcode( 'gettitle', 'get_title_shortcode' );

    I created a shortcode that gets the title of the post and is inserted in pictures as alt=”[gettitle]”.

    Now when I use the “Get Post Content Shortcode” plugin to post content from one post on another I want that the [gettitle] results with the actual title and not the title from the embedded post. Is there any way to get the actual title in that situation?

    Thanks in advance,
    Benjamin

    Benjamin,
    When using your [gettitle] shortcode within [post-content] the behavior you’re seeing is intentional.

    To get what you want, the [gettitle] shortcode needs to be updated to look for the outer most post_id.

    I’ve made a replacement shortcode that should do what you want.

    Let me know if that works for you.
