Hi,

I’m busy with some plugin that will do some SEO tasks for bbpress.

On thing seem to be harder than I thought. I would like to write new page titles in some circumstances. The next “filter” code doesn’t work:

remove_filter('bb_get_header', 'bb_get_title');

apply_filters('bb_get_title', 'PHP Scripts Development Forum');

which function is called before I need to use the remove filter funtion? (the guy from the WP SEO plugin is using some str_replace function, very strange)

Thanks

The second parameter in apply_filters() needs to be a function that returns the text to be displayed in the title. Eg:

function my_title( $title ) {

return 'PHP Scripts Development Forum';

}



apply_filters('bb_get_title', 'my_title');

[John Blackbourn]

Oh hang on, that’s not right either. Use add_filter(). Try this:

function my_title( $title ) {

return 'PHP Scripts Development Forum';

}



add_filter('bb_get_title', 'my_title');

Hi Thanks for helping.

it doesn’t work

this is the function I use (stripped the other code)

function my_title($title) {

return 'PHP Scripts Development Forum';

}



function create_meta() {

if (is_front()) {

remove_filter('bb_title', 'bb_get_title');

add_filter('bb_get_title', 'my_title');

// code to create the meta data

} else {

// do something else

}

}

add_action('bb_head','create_meta');

maybe it doesn’t work because I add the filter within that “action”?

By the way I came out here, I isolated the title function as suggested and the title is rewritten. Thanks!

The problem with your code was that you were adding a filter to bb_title via an action run when the title was already written to the browser. You should have added the filter at bb_init or just left it on it’s own in the plugin.

Also, I don’t think there is particularly a need to remove the existing filter on bb_title in your case.

Hey Sam,

thanks for the explanations.

I got the whole stuff working and my “seo plugin” is almost released.
