  Hello everyone,

  This topic has already been addressed to a certain extent here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/strikethrough-in-title/

  I have been able to add a strikethrough in my title but my issue is that when I want to share the post (via e-mail, facebook, twitter, etc…) the strikethrough code shows up in the title.

  So for instance, if my title is “This is my Title” and I write in the post title box ” This is my Title “, it will appear correctly on my homepage and when I open the post. But when I try to share the post, this is what goes out:

  —
  Test User thinks that you may be interested in the following post:
  This is my Title
  https://thisismyblog.com/this-is-my-title/
  —

  I am wondering if anyone knows how to keep the strikethrough in the title, but hide the code behind it. I’d like the message that goes out to read:

  —
  Test User thinks that you may be interested in the following post:
  This is my Title
  https://thisismyblog.com/example-of-a-title/
  —

  I am using an example here because my blog is still private and I am just running tests.

  Any help would be much appreciated :)

  Thank you!

  I just realized that once posted the code showed up as strikethrough!! I hope this is not confusing. I’ll just clarify to make sure that I am being clear:

  I used the code mentioned in this post: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/strikethrough-in-title/

  It works well but the code appears when I share the post instead of either showing ” This is my Title ” or ” This is my title”.

  I just want to hide the code when sharing, while still maintaining the strikethrough in the title of the post.
