How to change the post title tag in WordPress?

Question

WordPress post titles are usually in the h1 tag by default. How to write the post title inside the h2 tag? WordPress Post Title

I go through all the themes files but can not get any solution. When I Inspect the page, I find this A Comprehensive Guide to Holistic Health and Wholeness. Which means the page title is inside the named "entry-title". But I can not find such a class in the theme files. I need to modify the title tag and make it into h2 tag. Squaretype theme is used here.

Answer 1

You can render the H2 tag for title by passing parameters in the_title() function, like this:-

<?php the_title('<h2>','</h2>'); ?>

This is written in the user contribution in the_title() function page of WordPress documentation. I read it there.

Another way is to use get_the_title() function, it will just give the title text. And then you can wrap it in the h2 element. Here is the example:-

<h2><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></h2>

Answer 2

Here you can find the post title in single.php file or content-single.php file just replace

<?php the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title">', '</h2>' ); ?>
or
<h2><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></h2>
