Thanks @thaikolja,

I’m using version 6.0 of WordPress and the GeneratePress Theme.

About your suggestions: (1) I turned off “Auto Show” to add manually, but it seems like I have to add a line of php? And do I have to add that every time the theme gets updated? (2) Not sure about the JavaScript approach, I’ve never worked with it.

I was wondering if a third way would to be to add the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, create a new field, and locate it using a hook or block element?

Thanks for your insights I truly appreciate it and have loved your plugin,

Bob

Thank you @thaikolja ! I too love your plugin. It was recommended in WPBeginner and it really adds a ton of functionality to blog posts and blog structuring. I’m new to WordPress, so the issue really forced me to do some sleuthing and understand things better. Thank you @show-up-strong for your post. It gave me a clue what was going on and I wasn’t alone. And FYI: Of all my plugins, I really rank this one high, among the top – and an essential for a good blog. It’s just what the doctor ordered, and to my knowledge no other plugin provides the same functionality. I just can’t believe it’s free. Definitely worth 5 stars all the way. ??

I agree. I disabled all auto plugin updates on my website. I really love Secondary Title. But it would be nice if they charged a small fee to help ensure seamless updates as opposed to the “donation model” and poorly executed updates. It’s a really great plugin and deserves to be work without user-end angst. I figured this out myself with sleuthing, but it would be a lot less stressful if the developer had thought the update through.

Good news and update:

I corrected it on my website by downgrading from 2.0.7 back down to 2.0.6. You can do it by going to the WordPress Repository for Secondary Title, clicking “Advanced View” on the right side bar, and then downloading the 2.0.6 version. You then simply install the 2.0.6 version and it will overwrite the 2.0.7 faulty version. Also, you might want to disable “auto updates” on your plugin list page. You’ll see that on the far right column.

I read how to do it in Kinsta https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/download-older-versions-of-wordpress-plugins/#:~:text=The%20first%20thing%20to%20do,plugin%20in%20the%20WordPress%20repository.&text=Scroll%20down%20on%20the%20plugin’s,on%20the%20%E2%80%9CAdvanced%20View.%E2%80%9D&text=Scroll%20to%20the%20bottom%20of,back%20in%20time%20if%20needed.

Hope that helps.

Rest assured, you’re not alone.

I am having the same problem at https://www.naturefolk.net/flyer. It only seems to affect the blog page (i.e. flyer). And yes, it happened the moment it updated from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7. I have another website that didn’t “auto-update” and it also uses Secondary Title and it is fine. Not sure what I did (i.e. settings) that that site didn’t auto-update.

Good to know at least it appears to be the update.
