// Format of the prefix; %s is the category name.
$wpide_feed_title_prefix = '[%s] ';
add_filter( 'the_title_rss', function ( $title ) use ( $wpide_feed_title_prefix ) {
if ( 'post' !== get_post_type() ) {
return $title;
}
$default = (int) get_option( 'default_category' );
foreach ( get_the_category() as $category ) {
if ( (int) $category->term_id !== $default ) {
return sprintf( $wpide_feed_title_prefix, wp_strip_all_tags( $category->name ) ) . $title;
