Secondary title field missing in Editor

In an attempt to add some spacing above the main title of the new post on the home page (Share YOUR Story!), I changed the above style to this:

.secondary-title {
	font-size: smaller;
	display:block;
	padding-top: 2em;
	margin-top: 2em;
}

But that has no effect.

Right now, I don’t see any secondary title being used on any post. Can you show me one with and one without? And: Don’t forget that there’s a category filter on the Secondary Title settings page. Deactivate all boxes to allow it to be displayed on ALL categories.

Thank you for replying so quickly! ??

Yes, the top post is the newest (“Share YOUR Story”) and the first post that, when I went to create it, did not have a Secondary Title field in the Editor.

All the rest of the posts have a secondary title and that is the date that appears above the main title of each post, in a slightly smaller font than the main title.

I had had all categories checked, but I have now unchecked all categories. But this seems to not have made any difference.

btw, I removed the padding and margin definitions from the .secondary-title styling because it was ONLY adding padding and margin to all the rest of the posts that have the secondary title (where the padding and margin does not need fixing).

Try deactivating the option “Only show in main post” on ST settings page.

Hi thaikolja, I already have that set to off.

Should Auto Show be turned on or off?

I am pretty certain it had been off when it was working, but just now I tried both on and off but, either way, the secondary title field is still not appearing in the Editor.

If you don’t use the PHP function to manually include the secondary title in your theme PHP files, you must turn on “Auto show”. Otherwise nothing can be shown. But then again, even without turning it on, the secondary title input box should be visible. Have you also tried to uncheck or check all post types? If we still don’t come any further, I can offer you to have a look myself. All I need is your trust and FTP access. If you decide to do that, we could discuss this further via e-mail ([email protected]).

Yes, I did try unchecking all post types, but does not change anything.

I just created a user account for you and you will have received notification of this in your email. I will immensely appreciate if you can take a look at my various settings and maybe note which plug-ins I’m using that could be conflicting. Thank you!!

Dear thaikolja,

I have just discovered another plugin called, “Advanced Custom Fields,” which I am very excited about exploring. I’m going to pursue this instead of Secondary Title – because this other plug-in has multiple other features that will be very useful to me.

I’m also, I confess, a little nervous about giving out an admin user account… so I have removed that.

I really appreciate your time and effort and helpfulness. If I do happen to figure out what the problem was with my install of Secondary Title, I will report that back to you.
