    I have been using wordpress for a few years and have never added titles to my posts.
    I would like to use like a 5 word post excerpt from each post to fill in the post title field in the database if it is blank.

    so it would be like:

    if have posts{
    if $querypost(title)=” {post_excerpt()=$querypost(title)

    write the new title to the database

    }

    …welp
