single_month_title( string $prefix = '', bool $display = true )

Display or retrieve page title for post archive based on date.

Description

Useful for when the template only needs to display the month and year, if either are available. 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.

Parameters

$prefix

(string) (Optional) What to display before the title.

Default value: ''

$display

(bool) (Optional) Whether to display or retrieve title.

Default value: true

Return

(string|void) Title when retrieving.

More Information

  • This tag only works when the m or archive month argument has been passed by WordPress to the current page (this occurs when viewing a monthly archive page).
  • This tag works only on date archive pages, not on category templates or others.
  • It does not support placing the separator after the title, but by leaving the prefix parameter empty, you can set the title separator manually.
