    function get_post_title_shortcode( $atts ) {
        $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
            ‘id’ => get_the_ID(),
        ), $atts, ‘post_title’ );
        $post_title = get_the_title( $atts[‘id’] );
        return $post_title;
    }
    add_shortcode( ‘get_post_title’, ‘get_post_title_shortcode’ );

    The condition for output is that an IP is available via get_the_ID(). Are you calling a single page? This will not work for archive pages, except perhaps in a loop. The context in which you insert the shortcode would therefore be very important.

    Besides context being important in general, shortcodes within HTML tags will not be expanded as you are thinking they would be. In order to use a shortcode’s value within an input field, the shortcode would need to generate the entire tag within it’s expanded content. For example, [title_field] could be expanded into <input type="hidden" name="tourCode" value="A Post Title">, assuming the post’s title is available via code. Success still depends on context.

    Yes I use it in single post!
    In that page I have custom form submit, so I need input hidden field to keep current page or post title embed when I submit sent email, that I need
    <input type=”hidden” mane=”tourCode” value=”[get_post_title]” />

    Any better solution?

    WP will not “see” shortcodes within a HTML tag. As I said earlier, your shortcode would need to generate the entire tag, not just the field’s value.
