What is the variable for Page Title and Page Posting Date?

  • Hi guys, i have a large wordpress site with about 20 000 pages,
    I wpould like to add some content like a widget or a section for all pages.
    the content will use each page title and date dynamically and display it within the text.
    How can i acheive that please?

    for example:
    job title: {the_title}
    job posting date: {page_date}
    Thank you in advance.

  • Something like the following should work:

    Title: (placed where you would like it displayed)

    
<?php the_title(); ?>

    So example:

    
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

    Page Date:

    
<?php the_date(); ?>

    So example:

    
<span><?php the_date(); ?></span>

    Edit: I should mention that these snippets would most likely be added into page.php of your theme, inside the Loop

    Thanks a lot, i have attmeted to add it to page.php in my child theme, but for some reason it doesn’t change the frontend even after deleting the cache.
    I noticed that most of files have
    defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) OR die( ‘This script cannot be accessed directly.’ );
    could that be the reason?

    Possibly you need to make another template, not the page.php, check the type of a content you are trying to change:
