Cami asks,
@srikat Hi Sridhar! I'm trying to figure out how to add subtitles directly under page titles in Interior Pro (over image area). Any ideas?

Subtitles can easily be added using Gary Jones’ Visual Subtitle plugin which adds a Visual Subtitle field to all post, page and CPTs.
After installing the plugin, edit the Pages for which you would like to display subtitles, fill in the Visual Subtitle field and update.
Then add this in your child theme’s style.css:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| .subtitle { | |
| display: block; | |
| margin-top: 10px; | |
| } | |
| .breadcrumb .subtitle { | |
| display: none; | |
| } |

Hi Sridhar, I was going to use this plugin to do the same thing, but was afraid to use it as it hasn’t been updated for 3 years. Should I be concerned about that? Is there a way to do this without using the plugin? Thank you!
Hi.
There are three points to address here.
You’re right that my plugin (repo at https://github.com/garyjones/visual-subtitle) hasn’t been updated in a long while, and to be honest, it’s probably showing it’s age and could do with an update. While, it’s not technically abandoned, there are similar plugins that are probably kept more up to date and may offer more features.
Generally though, I wouldn’t worry too much if a plugin hasn’t been updated in a while. Did you know, that just changing the documentation counts as an update, even if a plugin author didn’t touch the active code? If it works, and many simple plugins do because they don’t touch too much of WordPress, then there is little risk in giving them a go.
As for doing it without a plugin – yes, you could copy the plugin code into your theme, but that’s highly discouraged. The subtitle, added by whatever plugin you choose, is content, and therefore shouldn’t only be available to be edited when a particular theme is active. By keeping it in a plugin, the field will still be visible on the back-end whatever theme is active, even if the new theme doesn’t make use of it yet.

If I would choice, I will try WP Plugin.

Seems no longer supported. Here is can use _subtitle special Core field below:

(not the custom fields that is messy)
Have you found it to not work? For a plugin like this, there’s probably nothing that needs to be updated and probably that explains why it hasn’t been updated in 3 yrs.
Works for me on the Genesis Showcase theme. Thanks!
