Is there a hook available that lets you append or prepend text to the <title> tag in the head?

I've seen lots of posts about customizing the <title> tag, but they all involve manually adding a function inside the <title> tag. I'm looking to modify it with a hook if possible so it can be easily turned on/off in a functions.php file.

The content is modified with filters, not hooks.

To modify the <title>, use wp_title filter

Example:

  add_filter('wp_title', 'set_page_title');

  function set_page_title($orig_title) { 
    return 'Modified ' . $orig_title;
  }

  • Right, thanks - I thought this was to modify the title of the post. Any pointers on how to prepend something the title using this filter?

  • Got this to work (thanks), but it changes the on-page titles when wp_title() is used elsewhere, and not just the <title> tags in the <head> - is there a filter to ONLY edit the <title> content?
