Allow changing of archived post prefix/label on frontend

[matthewmcvickar]

By default, calls to the_title() or get_the_title() return Archived: [post-title] for archived posts. It would be nice to be able to disable or change that prefix with a single line of code, or for there to be a filter for changing the label.

For anybody looking to do this now, the following WordPress filter function also works to accomplish this:

function remove_prefix_from_archived_posts( $title, $id ) {
  $title = str_replace( 'Archived: ', '', $title );
  return $title;
}
add_filter( 'the_title', 'remove_prefix_from_archived_posts', 10, 2 );

There are filters to support this as of v0.3.9, see the readme:

Remove the label

add_filter( 'aps_title_label', '__return_false' );

Place the label after the title

add_filter( 'aps_title_label_before', '__return_false' );

Change the separator

The separator is the string between the "Archived" label and the post title, including spaces. When the label appears before the title, the separator is a colon and space : , if the label is placed after the title it is a dash with spaces on each side -.

You can customize the separator with the following filter:

add_filter( 'aps_title_separator', function( $sep ) {
	$sep = ' ~ '; // replace with your separator
	return $sep;
});
