Visual Subtitle

Description

This plugin adds a Visual Subtitle field to all post, page and custom post types that have support for a title, and that use the Classic Editor. It doesn’t work with the Block Editor.

It allows you to include a string of text that will still be part of the post title, but be wrapped in a span tag, giving something like:

<h1>Visual Subtitle<span class="subtitle"></span></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, separated with a pipe (|) character, and appended to the title part of the document title with a colon (:) character.

Can I change the separators?

Only currently by amending the plugin code.

My subtitle isn’t appearing on a new line?

You need to add the .subtitle { display: block; } style to your own theme, along with any other styling you want for it.

Works as advertised. Simply added the following CSS to help is deeply a bit more clearly on my site: .subtitle { display: block; margin-top: 1px; font-size: 2.2rem; font-weight: 400; }
