 * HI, I am trying to change the title from the post description using below code
   in function.php
    function my_title($title) { global $post; // Do whatever here
   with your title… $content = $post->post_content; $content = wp_filter_nohtml_kses(
   $content ); // this wp_filter_nohtml_kses indicates strip_tags $content = do_shortcode(
   $content ); $title = $content; return $title; }
 * $content printing the shortcode present in the post content. But when $content
   is passed to do_shortcode(), website hanged. How to apply do_shortcode() in this
   way.
