How do I set a default post title?

You can use code similar to that shown in the article you linked to, only use default_title instead of default_content. You might want to incorporate the date and time into the title so each post would have a unique title. Otherwise finding a post will be quite difficult.

Aha! Thank you, that did the trick.

hello.

i am trying to add a default title to my posts.
i tried to follow the instructions above but am struggling to get it to work!

basically at the moment my post titles (as i do not enter post titles) automatically default to the date of the post. i like this but also want to add a bit of default text in there as well, so that its not simply the timestamp but rather “MYTEXT: timestamp”.

following advice above, i tried adding this to the end of my functions.php:

<?php

add_filter( 'default_title', 'my_editor_title' );

function my_editor_title( $title ) {

	$title = "MYTEXT";

	return $title;
}

?>

but it doesn’t work.

any ideas what i am doing wrong?
any help would be much appreciated?

many thanks,

adam.
