# PHP/JS in post title

 * Look at this page. I would like the title of this post (“12 Cartoons Your Mom
   Shouldn’t Let You Watch When You Were Young”) to be replaced by a description
   of the entry that got the most votes. This entry is: “#1 Meet open lists,” and
   his description is: “Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries
   Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.” I thought I’d put PHP or
   JS as the title for this entry, but I can’t do it in WordPress default settings.
   How do I change this?

 * As you likely discovered, you cannot enter functioning code as a post title. 
   What you can do is hook the “the_title” filter. Whatever your filter callback
   returns will be the title displayed regardless of the actual post title. This
   is assuming your theme displays titles by calling the `the_title()` template 
   tag, which the vast majority do.
