 * I am adding shortcodes to my wordpress templates, and in the shortcode i would
   like the value to echo after the wordpress title:
 * **<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ti_audio name=”Value”]’); ?>**
 * I wanted something that would function like:
    **<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ti_audio
   name=”<?php the_title() ?>”]’); ?>**
 * How would I go about doing something like this? The original shortcode is:
    **[
   ti_audio name=”Name of Playlist”]**
 * And the Name of playlist, I want to be the exact same name as the title of the
   post. Is this possible?
 * I am using this plugin/these shortcodes:

 * You dont start `<?php` over again when inside php code already. More like this.(
   not tested). `the_title` will echo the title right away. `get_the_title` allows
   you to store and use the value.
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[ti_audio name="'.
   get_the_title($post->ID).'"]'); ?>`

 * Thank you,
    I had figured that you cannot restart the php but i was having trouble
   figuring out how to display “the title”
 * previously, i had tried to use:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[ti_audio name="'.
   $thetitle.'"]'); ?>`
 * but it was not working.
 * thank you for your help!
