How to use get_wp_title_rss filter in WordPress

get_wp_title_rss filter

Filters the blog title for use as the feed title. To use get_wp_title_rss filter, first, you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

In our experience, it is always a good idea to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function modify_get_wp_title_rss_defaults which takes 2 parameters and we registered using add_filter. The first parameter get_wp_title_rss is the name of the hook, the second parameter modify_get_wp_title_rss_defaults is the name of the function which needs to be called, the third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove get_wp_title_rss filter.

Parameters

• $title: (string) The current blog title.
• $deprecated: (string) Unused.

Live Example

Below is an example of how you can use this hook.

    function weplugins_modify_get_wp_title_rss_defaults($title, $deprecated) { 
        // Update the $title variable according to your website requirements and return this variable. 
        // You can modify the $title variable conditionally too if you want.
        return $title; 
    }
    // add the filter
    add_filter("get_wp_title_rss", "weplugins_modify_get_wp_title_rss_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Removing the Hook

To remove a hook callback, use the example below.

    remove_filter("get_wp_title_rss", "weplugins_modify_get_wp_title_rss_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Please make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments while removing the hook callback.
