Call the title

[Hunter]

I’m trying to call the title as a link title (” href=”…”> on my single-event.php. When I use <?php echo get_the_title(); ?>, it shows the code rather than the event title.

What else can I do to achieve this task?

Hi Hunter Wilson,

Thanks for coming here to the forums, I want to help you on your issue, but to do so I will need to see the full code of your <b>single-event.php</b>.

Other than that the default HTML for a link with the post title would be:

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

My Best regards,

[Hunter]

I tried what you provided and still got the code showing rather than the current event page title. The code I originally posted turned into a link, but it looks like this:

< a href=”‘ . get_field(‘instagram’) . ‘” target=”_blank” >

Hi Hunter,  the code you provided should be as the following:

<?php echo '<a href="' . get_field( 'instagram' ) . '" target="_blank">'  . get_the_title() . '</a>'; ?>

Check if the code above resolves your issue, if not I will help you faster if you provide me the full file, via http://codebin.org/

My Best Regards,

[Hunter]

I got an error when I tried that. Here is my paste bin code for a link: http://codebin.org/view/18b7694f

Can you send me which error happened?

Thanks,

I think I had some incorrect syntax, but no matter what I try I can’t get it to display the title. Can you provide me the revised snippet of my code you recommend I try and share it via pastebin?

[Hunter]

I’m fairly familiar with PHP and my events used to be able to call the title all over my event pages, but I’m not sure what caused this to change.
