Advanced Options And Attributes

Using the ‘id’ Attribute:

The ‘id‘ attribute allows you to specify the post ID and display the title accordingly.

The basic format is like this: [aio_post_title id="x"], where ‘x‘ is the post’s special ID. This makes it easy to display the correct title for a specified post, keeping things organized and clear.

• Input: [aio_post_title id="123"]
• Output: Page Title Shortcode (the title of the post associated with the ID 123)

To find the post ID in WordPress, go through your WordPress dashboard by editing the post and identifying the “post=(ID-NUMBER)” section in the URL inside the address bar.

Using the ‘link’ Attribute:

The ‘link‘ attribute in the shortcode [aio_post_title link="yes/no"] determines whether the post title should be linked or not. The default value is ‘np‘ meaning the title is not linked or displayed as simple text.

The basic format is: [aio_post_title link="yes/no"], allowing you to control whether the title is a clickable link or not.

• Input: [aio_post_title link="yes"]
• Output: Post Title Shortcode (the title of the post with a clickable link)

• Input: [aio_post_title link="no"]
• Output: Post Title Shortcode (the title of the post without a clickable link)

Note: Either you write [aio_post_title link="no"] or [aio_post_title link="no"] works the same way.

Using the ‘new_window’ Attribute:

The ‘new_window‘ attribute in the post title shortcode Post Title Shortcode specifies (if the title is linked) if it will open in a new window or not. The default value is ‘no‘ meaning the link opens in the same window.

• Input: [aio_post_title link="no" new_window="no"]
