Description
This plugin adds a Visual Subtitle field to all post, page and custom post types that have support for a title, using the Classic Editor. It doesn't work with the Block Editor.
In a future version, this plugin may include a user interface with a list of checkboxes, so users can deselect which post types visual subtitle is applied to.
Those comfortable with code can filter the indexed array of post types via the visual_subtitle_supported_types
filter.
The plugin allows you to include a string of text that will still be part of the post title, but be wrapped in a small
tag, giving something like:
<h1>Main Title<small class="subtitle">This is a subtitle</small></h1>
Keeping it as part of the main level 1 or two heading, means it maintains as much keyword SEO importance as the main title, yet can be given a style (in your own theme) of display: block;
to make it visually appear as a subtitle.
The visual subtitle is appended to to the title on on the Posts screen, with a |
separator, and appended to the title part of the document title with a filterable colon and space (:
) separator.
