WP Subtitle

விளக்கம்

The WP Subtitle plugin allows your pages and posts to contain a subtitle. Also called a sub-heading, this this short line of text is meant to appear beneath a post’s (or page’s) title, but can be inserted in your template wherever you choose.

The subtitle can be inserted into your theme template files (or plugin) using the following API:

Display The Subtitle

All parameters are optional. If ‘post_id’ is omitted then the current post ID in the loop is used.

PHP Code:

do_action( 'plugins/wp_subtitle/the_subtitle', array(
    'before'        => '<p class="subtitle">',
    'after'         => '</p>',
    'post_id'       => get_the_ID(),
    'default_value' => ''
) );

Output:

<p class="subtitle">My Post Subtitle</p>

Get The Subtitle

All parameters are optional. If ‘post_id’ is omitted then the current post ID in the loop is used.

A default value can be supplied as the second parameter for apply_filters. This will be used if the post does not have a subtitle. Leave as an empty string to return an empty string if the post does not have a subtitle.

PHP Code:

$subtitle = apply_filters( 'plugins/wp_subtitle/get_subtitle', '', array(
    'before'  => '<p class="subtitle">',
    'after'   => '</p>',
    'post_id' => get_the_ID()
) );

Result:

$subtitle = '<p class="subtitle">My Post Subtitle</p>'

Parameters

The array of arguments accepted for the plugins/wp_subtitle/the_subtitle action and plugins/wp_subtitle/get_subtitle filter are:

before
(string) Text to place before the subtitle if one exists. Defaults to an empty string.

after
(string) Text to place after the subtitle if one exists. Defaults to to an empty string.

post_id
(integer) Post, page or custom post type ID.

default_value
(string) Only used by the plugins/wp_subtitle/the_subtitle action, allows you to specify a default subtitle to display if the post does not have one. For the plugins/wp_subtitle/get_subtitle filter the second parameter of apply_filters should be used instead. Defaults to to an empty string.

Post Type Support

By default, subtitle are supported by both posts and pages. To add support for custom post types add teh following to your theme functions file or plugin:

add_post_type_support( 'my_post_type', 'wps_subtitle' )

WooCommerce Plugin Support

Subtitles can automatically be added to your WooCommerce products without needing to make template changes. In the admin go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products where you can choose to:

  • Enable Product Subtitles
  • Display the subtitle on single product pages
  • Display the subtitle on product archives (category pages)

Yoast SEO and SEOPress Plugin Support

The plugin allows you to include the subtitle in your meta titles and descriptions via the Yoast SEO and SEOPress plugins.

Similar to the Yoast %%title%% placeholder which inserts the post title, you can use %%wps_subtitle%%.

There are also addition placeholders and filters to allow to to customize seperators for the subtitle.

For more information, view the SEO support documentation here.

I cannot even say for sure that this plugin works. The UI requires entering the subtitle in the right side panel and not inline with the post text where I’d expect it. I took 10-15 minutes just to discover this. Then I tried to preview the post to see if the subtitle rendered and it did not. So the only way to know if this plugin is working is to publish a post. I refuse to publish a post to verify the plugin works. The plugin should display the subtitle in the preview and ideally in the post editor. I’m using Wordpress 5.3.2 (which is the latest verified working version with this plugin at the time of this writing). Reading over the description of the plugin, it appears that I must edit the theme. I’m not going to do that either. There must be a better way to add subtitles.

I found this plugin when developing a theme where I needed to show the subtitle below the title of the page/post/CPT. Now I saw many reviews saying what’s the point of this plugin or this is not a plug-n-play plugin etc. and I would like those people to say, trust me, guys, you have no development experience whatsoever, otherwise you would have understood the importance of the plugin and thanked that it is not a plug-n-play plugin which gives you full control over how you wanna show, where you wanna show and styling. When Gutenberg was in beta it has the subheading block built-in, but then it did not get released. What a shame! Anyways, I initially thought that I will create a custom Gutenberg Block myself for the subheading, but I quickly saw that any block you make will be shown inside the the_content(); section. Which didn’t worked for me as I wanted it outside of the content so that I can place it below the title and show where I want it to be shown. Also, you can easily add the subtitle support to your CPT which is truly awesome. Again, I will highly recommend this plugin and I would have given 10 stars if it was possible. I just hope that the plugin developer maintains the plugin in future and not leave it in the middle as this is truly an amazing plugin which I would hate to see die.

Does what it advertises efficiently. I give it 4-stars as it needs a bit of development support on the theme templates to display the subtitles — not quite plug-and-play

The development of this plugin follows the WordPress future.

Thank you very much for that plugin. It works perfectly in multiple of my clients installations. For the fifth star: It would be very convenient (for me) to have the default behaviour of get_the_subtitle() changed to return the content rather than echo it. 1. It would go along with the behaviour of Wordpress built-in functions ( get_the_title(), get_the_content() etc.) 2. I have to provide 3 extra paramters ( $before, $after and $echo ) everytime I want to do this simple switch. Another suggestion would be to check if $post is already set and use it automatically if so. (That way i wouldnt have to use any params at all in most of my use-cases. …and YES, I am lazy 😉 )
