Wordpress pros: How to add category name to post title??

For a certain blog i'm doing, a music news site, I will have multiple RSS feeds going into multiple categories. 1 category per artist. The post titles in the original articles won't usually mention the artists name, so that would make the first page of the site quite confusing.

So say I have category "rolling stones", and the post title is "Tour dates for 2007". I'd want that to post as "Rolling Stones: Tour dates for 2007".

Can anyone send me in the right direction? I'm sure its easy if you can code.

thanks in advance.

 

No pros here i guess?

 

having the same problem as this one..

 

I think the easiest way would be to edit the template and RSS feed files to put the category name before the title in the actual code. Each theme is different, but if you want help just PM me. You could probably do the same with a custom plugin, but I have yet to try coding one of those

 

Use All in One SEO Plugin. It does EXACTLY what you are looking for ...

 

It didnt work. when you add the %category_title% after the post title at that plugin. The blogpost title will appear like this "Post Title - category_title% the category title didnt appear as i expected

 

you can add =>> <?php if ( is_single() ) {echo single_cat_title(' - ');} ?>
between <title> and </title> in header.php

like this ;

Hi.. it didnt work at my blog.. nothing appearing when i put that code inside the <title> and </title>

 

AIO SEO Pack just affects the page title in the browser. You'll still need to edit the theme/RSS to display the category

 

hi,

i did something black :S its for some specific category...

what i did in <title> tag:

if (is_single()) {
if ( in_category( 'Boxing' )) {
echo 'Boxing: ';
}
wp_title();
}

this is for showing a single category if you have the post in some more categories and/or sub categories,

 

Use Taxonomies. A good introductorial tutorial can be found in Justin Tadlock's blog along with several folowup artices ... see taxonomies on his blog.
