Hello,
how can I delete the standard title? I like to use the textfield I created to become the wordpress standard title.
Any help?
Cheers,
Denis
This take a couple of steps, first hiding the title WP title field. I see that you’re also not using the WP editor so that makes it a bit easier
add_action('admin_head', 'hide_wp_title_input');
function hide_wp_title_input() {
$screen = get_current_screen();
if ($screen->id != 'your-custom-post-type') {
return;
}
?>
<style type="text/css">
#post-body-content {
display: none;
}
</style>
<?php
}
next, update the post to use the custom title field for the post title
// you'll want to rename the function
add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_post_type_post'), 20); // fires after ACF
function save_post_type_post($post_id) {
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
if ($post_type != 'your-custom-post_type') {
return;
}
$post_title = get_field('your_custom_field', $post_id);
$post_name = sanitize_title($post_title);
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_name' => $post_name,
'post_title' => $post_title
);
wp_update_post($post);
}

Hello John,
this works!
One ) is too much.
add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_post_type_post'), 20);
Thanks a lot.
Denis
hi,
can you pls help me to understand where to add this code? Inside the function.php file of my template or where?
Thanks for your help
It would go in functions.php
I tried hiding the title using the first block of code and ended up hiding the entire WP editor.
This:
<style type="text/css">
#post-body-content {
display: none;
}
</style>
Should be replaced by:
<style type="text/css">
#titlediv {
display: none;
}
</style>
if the aim is hiding only the “title” field of the editor.
Glad I found this.
I have more than one custom field, so code looks like this:
// Get title from acf into post title
add_action('acf/save_post', 'upd_cust_post_title', 20); // fires after ACF
function upd_cust_post_title($post_id) {
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
if ($post_type != 'house') {
return;
}
$post_title = get_field('name', $post_id);
$post_name = sanitize_title($post_title);
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_name' => $post_name,
'post_title' => $post_title
);
wp_update_post($post);
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'upd_car_post_title', 20); // fires after ACF
function upd_ann_post_title($post_id) {
$post_type = get_post_type($post_id);
if ($post_type != 'car') {
return;
}
$post_title = get_field('title', $post_id);
$post_name = sanitize_title($post_title);
$post = array(
'ID' => $post_id,
'post_name' => $post_name,
'post_title' => $post_title
);
wp_update_post($post);
}
Is that’s the way to do it? Or there’s better way?
Thanks
So I just keep adding new functions with every new custom post type?
You can do it in one function, you just have to check for each post type. Rather than returning
if ($post_type == 'car') {
// do the car post type
}
if ($post_type == 'house') {
// do the house post type
}
If you used the same field name for the acf field on both of these post types then you could do something like
if ($post_type == 'car' || $post_type == 'house') {
// do the house and car stuff
}
Great, this is the better way inside one function.
Thanks you, really appreciate.
