I am trying to replace the "enter title here" placeholder text (hidden link) for a custom post type with the following snippet but it isn't working as expected:

function change_default_title( $title ){
$screen = get_current_screen();

if ( 'person-of-interest' == $screen->post_type ) {
$title = 'Enter the name of the person';
}

return $title;
}

add_filter( 'enter_title_here', 'change_default_title' );

Here is the custom post type info: hidden link

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hello,

Please try to modify your PHP codes as below:

function change_default_title( $enter_title_here, $post ){
	
	if ( isset($post->post_type) && 'person-of-interest' == $post->post_type ) {
		$enter_title_here = 'Enter the name of the person';
	}

	return $enter_title_here;
}

add_filter( 'enter_title_here', 'change_default_title', 11, 2 );

And test again
