Home » Hooks » enter_title_here

The WordPress hook "enter_title_here" is a filter hook that allows developers to modify the default placeholder text in the title input field on the WordPress post editor screen. By using this hook, developers can customize the text that appears in the title field, providing more specific instructions or guidance to the users.

This hook is particularly useful in situations where the default placeholder text may not be suitable for the specific content or purpose of the website. Modifying the placeholder text can help users understand what type of title is expected and what information should be included.

Example Usage:

function custom_enter_title_here($title) {
    $title = 'Enter a catchy and descriptive title for your post';
    return $title;
}
add_filter('enter_title_here', 'custom_enter_title_here');

In the example above, we define a function called "custom_enter_title_here" that takes the default title placeholder text as a parameter. Inside the function, we set a custom placeholder text and return it. Finally, we use the "add_filter" function to hook our custom function to the "enter_title_here" filter hook.

Now, when users access the WordPress post editor, they will see the modified placeholder text "Enter a catchy and descriptive title for your post" instead of the default text. This provides a more tailored user experience and encourages users to create meaningful and relevant titles for their posts.
