How do I turn the post title field into a textarea? WordPress

Dbranes comments:

here is an example of this idea (using the title_save_pre hook) :

add_filter('title_save_pre', 'update_post_title');

function update_post_title($title){
//print_r($_POST);
if( isset($_POST['post_excerpt']) && $_POST['post_type']=="quotes" ){
$title=$_POST['post_excerpt'];
}
return esc_html($title);
}


so when you don't use the title ffeld in your cpt setup, you can use the excerpt value to save into the title field.

(I assume the the post type is called "quotes" in the above code example)

Hi! I like your idea, but would it be possible to use replace the excerpt with the post body? This way I can make multi-paragraph quotes. Thanks!

Dbranes comments:

sure, here is the code example with post_content instead of post_excerpt


add_filter('title_save_pre', 'update_post_title');
function update_post_title($title){
//print_r($_POST);
if( isset($_POST['post_content']) && $_POST['post_type']=="quotes" ){
$title=esc_html(strip_tags($_POST['post_content']));
}
return $title;
}
