All of my categories has a custom single post title type, such: "How to TITLE Free" and then the article.

I want to get another title if category is News. So i won't have "How To TITLE Free" for single posts titles, but instead I will have "TITLE" only.

How can I do this? Thank you.

• how is that custom single post title type done? is that 'How to ... Free' added to the normal title via code? – Michael Commented Mar 12, 2020 at 16:44
• yes, exactly. i am posting an article, and the title will automatically add "how to .... free" in it. – Vali Dragomir Commented Mar 14, 2020 at 15:10
• please post the code that automatically adds the 'how to ... free' to the title. you will need to add a condition to that code, that stops it from adding it if the post is in the 'News' category... – Michael Commented Mar 14, 2020 at 18:53

change this one line in your code:

<h1 class="article-title entry-title">How To <?php the_title(); ?> Free</h1>

to: CORRECTION:

<h1 class="article-title entry-title"><?php if( in_category( array('news') ) ) { the_title(); } else { ?> How To <?php the_title(); ?> Free<?php } ?></h1>

https://developer.wordpress/reference/functions/in_category/

use get_the_category() to get category of posts. Compare it with your required category like:

$category = get_the_category();
if($category[0]->name == 'news') { 
   echo the_title();
} else {
   echo "title";
}

Hope this helps
