Via Shawn, I came across a neat plugin called Title Case for WordPress.

Basically the plugin converts all headings and titles into appropriate title case.

Before: This is a cool plugin.
After: This is a Cool Plugin.

This plugin is a necessity for multi-author blogs, where various authors have different capitalization schemes.

I applied the plugin here and immediately noticed the difference.

Title Case - Before

I highlighted the areas in red that weren’t in title case.

Title Case - After

After applying the plugin, you can see the difference.

Custom Function

Currently the plugin uses a WordPress filter called ‘the_title’. However, it is my experience that not everybody uses this for all areas of their site.

Here is a function you could put into your theme’s functions.php, which you can call if you need to put something into title case that doesn’t involve invoking the template tag the_title.

function title_case($string = '') {
	if (function_exists('nv_title_case')) {
		return nv_title_case($string);
	}
	return $string;
}

The function assumes you have the WP Title Case plugin installed.

Conclusion

WP Title Case is a fantastic and simple plugin that converts normal text into title case. It is ideal for multi-author blogs where authors have various capitalization schemes.
