Allows part of a post title to be styled as a subtitle. It is still within the title heading, but is wrapped in a span to be styled differently.
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.
