We come across situations in which we need to show current WordPress page title or include WordPress page / post title in the content. A shortcode can be put to use in such cases. Here is a quick example of PHP code needed to create a short code for WordPress Page Title.
Add the below code to functions.php file of your theme.
function page_title_sc( ){
return get_the_title();
}
add_shortcode( 'page_title', 'page_title_sc' );
This will create a short code called
[page_title]
Use this shortcode [page_title] in you wordpress content, it returns the page / post title.
