This is one of the reasons we have WP_Typography::process_title_parts
to strip out soft hyphens and zero-width spaces.
@mundschenk-at: But I noticed this issue on a site. Does this mean the title is currently not stripped on that site?
How does your theme render the <title>
tag?
@mundschenk-at: I am using sage9 theme which uses blade: https://github.com/roots/sage/blob/e00eaf7e8fd8a5e63716ff31b5f0fc006171a8c4/resources/views/partials/page-header.blade.php
{!! App::title() !!}
{!!
, !!}
should print it unescaped. App::title()
Well, then that's the reason. Apparently the call to App::title()
does not use any of the standard WordPress filter hooks for the document title (wp_title
, wp_title_parts
, document_title_parts
). Instead, it appears to use the the_title
hook intended for printing the post title as a heading.
I've had a look at the issue you created in the roots/sage
repository. The thing is, the snippet you posted is not the function printing the <title>
tag (sorry I missed that previously). roots/sage
uses the wp_head()
function in its head.blade.php
partial, which should do the correct things.
roots/sage
also declares theme-support for the title-tag
feature, so I'm not sure what's going on unless you are somehow overriding some templates or using a really oldish WordPress version.
Just encountered an interesting bug in Chrome, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=592211. When hovering the tab in Chrome, soft-hyphens in title are shown. IMHO this is not a reason to not also add soft-hyphens to page title, ideally the browser could use this information later, e.g. better hyphenation in a multi-line title in the GUI.
