Right, I get that. I guess perhaps it's more an issue of why
WordPress allows you to publish a post without a title in the first
place. It seems to me that posts without titles have bigger problems
than whether or not a user can get to them.<br>
<br>
Actually, as I'm writing this email, Emil posted a solution on the
trac ticket that i really like:<br>
<pre>/**
* Where the post has no post title, but must still display a link to the
single-page post view.
*/
add_filter('the_title', 'blank_slate_title');
function blank_slate_title($title) {
if ($title == '') {
return 'Untitled';
} else {
return $title;
}
}
</pre>
This way you don't have to include an extra link if you don't want
to.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Emil!<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Cannot access single-page views of posts without titles from

-> That's good, consistent and how I want it throughout
the site. Is this mandatory?<br>
<br>
I've wondered the same things as well. It's always seemed a
little odd to me to have the post date link to the post
itself. Personally I think the date should link to a date
page. I know there are other ways to create a title-less
permalink, but this is the most common.<br>
<br>
Still, what is the rationale behind requiring posts with no
titles to have a permalink to them?<br>
