I can't filter nav menu items from this code

[Erika]

I'm trying to display an icon above my post titles, and the code below works, except that the icon also appears beside my nav menu links:

//* Image above Title
function new_title( $title ) {
$new_title = '<i class="ion-fork"></i><br> ' . $title;
return $new_title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'new_title' );

How do I filter out the nav menu items? I've tried a dozen different things and nothing works!

You would add a conditional that says: it's not admin and in the loop and a single page

function new_title( $title ) {

	if( ! is_admin() && in_the_loop() && is_singular()  ) {
		$new_title = '<i class="ion-fork">x</i><br> ' . $title;
		return $new_title;

	}//end conditional
	
	return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'new_title' );

if you want both archive and single, just remove the && is_singluar()

Carasmo,

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly!

One last question: How do I filter out page titles?

[carasmo]

How do you skip specific page titles? I would make a helper like this using the page/post id:

/** 
 *
 * Is Page Title Helper
 * @since  1.0.0
 *
 */
function is_not_this_page() {
	return ( (

		is_page( array( 
		'414', 
		'530', 
		'1107', 
		'1589', 
		'1638',
		'1134',
		'369' // last has no comma
		) ) 
			 
	 ) ) ? true : false ;
}

Then apply it with the ! not conditional like this which says:

is not admin and in the loop and is singular and not any of those pages in the array:

function new_title( $title ) {

	if( ! is_admin() && in_the_loop() && is_singular() && ! is_not_this_page()  ) {
		$new_title = '<i class="ion-fork">x</i><br> ' . $title;
		return $new_title;

	}//end conditional
	
	return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'new_title' );

Those are for pages, if this is a mixture of posts and pages use is_single instead in the is_not_this_page helper. Please read https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags then you can see how to get what you want for your needs.

Oops, that is wrong. is_single is just posts and cpts but not pages.

function is_not_this_page() {
	
	return ( (

		//pages I don't want
		is_page( array( 
			'414', 
			'530', 
			'1107', 
			'1134',
			'369' // last has no comma
		) ) 
		
		|| // or
		
		//posts and cpts I don't want
		is_single( array( 
			'123', 
			'245', 
			'789' // last has no comma
		) ) 		
			 
	) ) ? true : false ;
}

Here's another method:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bg_enqueue_ionicons' );
function bg_enqueue_ionicons() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'ionicons', '//code.ionicframework.com/ionicons/2.0.1/css/ionicons.min.css', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );
}

add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'icon_before_post_title', 5 );
function icon_before_post_title() {
if ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
echo '<h1><i class="ion-fork entry-title"></i></h1>';
    }
}
