Hi.
If a user forgets or misses out on making the first letters in the post’s Title upper case, is there a way to capitalise them before saving to database?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eugene, you can use this CSS to capitalise each word in a title, for example
```
.entry-title {text-transform: capitalize;}
```
Thanks

Thanks, Guust, for responding so promptly.
I actually got a tip from Stiofan to implement the following snippet, which resolved the issue:
```
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','_capital_title_dangit',10);
function _capital_title_dangit($data){
	if(isset($data['post_type']) && function_exists('geodir_get_posttypes') && in_array($data['post_type'],geodir_get_posttypes()) && isset($data['post_title'])){
		$data['post_title'] = ucwords( $data['post_title'] );
	}
	return $data;
}
```
Cheers!
