Add the date to the title

Hello,

I use the following code to add the date to an RSS-created article.

function my_add_date_to_title($title, $id) {

// Check if we're in the loop or not
// This should exclude menu items
if ( !is_admin() && in_the_loop() && has_category('polizeibericht', $id)) {

// First get the default date format
// Alternatively, you can specify your
// own date format instead
$date_format = get_option('date_format');

// Now get the date
$date = get_the_date($date_format, $id); // Should return a string

// Now put our string together and return it
// You can of course tweak the markup here if you want
$title .= ' ' . $date ;

}

// Now return the string
return $title;
}

// Hook our function to the 'the_title' filter
// Note the last arg: we specify '2' because we want the filter
// to pass us both the title AND the ID to our function
add_filter('the_title','my_add_date_to_title',10,2);

Unfortunately, the date is not displayed in the URL of the article, so I only have the same two words as URL.

As an example https://salzsau-panorama.de/blaulicht/polizeibericht/

How can I add the date to the URL?

Thanks

Hi,

Maybe I am misunderstanding this, but the date can be displayed in the URL by changing the permalink structure

Or even create custom permalinks

Hi Simon,

It is correct that the date can be displayed in the URL by changing the permalink.

Only if I import the feed and choose title as ‘policy report’, then yes to the URL every day increasing number attached

Example: In the third import policy report-3, at the fourteenth import policy report-14 and so on.

That does not look really nice, I think

And with the code function I would like to reach, which is attached to the title a date, as for example ‘Policereport- from-14-02-2018 (German date notation)

The question has been solved with the help of a shortcode of the plugin.

Many Thanks
