How to show Yoast SEO title in the front end as a shortcode?

I’m looking for a way to show Yoast Seo Title in the frontend as shortcode.

For example: for showing page title as shortcode I’ve added

<?php function page_title_sc( ){ return get_the_title(); } add_shortcode( ‘page_title’, ‘page_title_sc’ );

to the functions.php then added [page_title]to the frontend, and it’s ok. But I want the SEO page title (yoast seo). Any ideas?

    Thank you for responding.

    It returns page title, not seo title. :( I'm interested in showing seo title on every page (not only on posts).

    This should grab the Yoast SEO title for a post. Put this in your shortcode callback and return $title:

    $title = get_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', true);

// so


function page_title_sc() {
    global $post_id;

    $title = get_post_meta($post_id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', true);

    // may want to fallback to default title if SEO title is not set
    if (!$title) {
        $title = get_the_title($post_id);
    }

    return $title;
}
add_shortcode( 'page_title', 'page_title_sc' );
