Displays or retrieves page title for post.

This is optimized for single.php template file for displaying the post title.

It does not support placing the separator after the title, but by leaving the prefix parameter empty, you can set the title separator manually. The prefix does not automatically place a space between the prefix, so if there should be a space, the parameter value will need to have it at the end.

$prefix string Optional

What to display before the title.

Default: ''

$display bool Optional

Whether to display or retrieve title.

Default: true

string|void Title when retrieving.
