Deskripsyon

Secondary Title is a simple, light-weight plugin that adds an alternative title to posts, pages, and/or custom post types, which can be displayed automatically, with a shortcode or by using PHP.

The plugin comes with an extra settings page, which allows you to customize the plugin according to your needs. You can change:

post types, categories, and specific post IDs the secondary title will be
shown on,
whether the secondary title should be automatically added to the standard title (Auto show),
the format both titles are being shown (only works when Auto show is activated),
the position where the secondary title input field should be displayed (above or below the standard title) within the admin interface (Classic Editor only),
whether the secondary title should only be displayed in the main post and not within widgets, etc.,
if the secondary title should be usable in permalinks,
and even more.

Please see the official website for a full documentation.

Pag-install

Quick Installation

Install Secondary Title either by searching for the plugin with WordPress’ native plugin installer found under Plugins Add New or download the plugin manually and copy the secondary-title folder into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation.
Activate the plugin in the Plugins section of your admin interface.
Go to Settings Secondary Title to customize the plugin as desired.

IMPORTANT: If the Auto show option is set to Off, you have to use either

<?php echo get_secondary_title($post_id, $prefix, $suffix); ?>

<?php the_secondary_title($post_id, $prefix, $suffix); ?>

in your theme file(s) (e.g., single.php) where you would like the secondary title to be displayed.

Hello everyone, I give the plugin 5 stars and can highly recommend it. Many thanks to Kolja (the developer) who helped me to be able to control the secondary title on each page individually with CSS in order to display the design differently. This means that the secondary title is displayed smaller than the primary title and the reader can be offered even more information. Now it's great and I have no more wishes. 🙂 In addition to the review, the donation will follow shortly so that this great plugin can continue to exist for a long time.

The Secondary Title plugin may be tiny, but it is highly effective and incredibly useful. This plugin adds a unique dimension to the traditional WordPress title, enhancing its attractiveness. Young and talented developer Kolja Nolte has been exceptionally helpful, resolving a seemingly critical issue with the title display on my homepage with great dedication. I am deeply grateful for his assistance and look forward to more outstanding plugins from him in the future. I request the respected moderators of the WordPress forum to allow Kolja Nolte to interact seamlessly with the 9000+ plugin users.

First off, this is great, it works very well, I'm super happy with it. I did NOT however want to delve into making custom templates, what I wanted was to treat the subtitle field like the excerpt. So I went to ChatGPT and said "make a wordpress plugin that replaces the content of the except with the content of a meta field"The only thing I had to change was the name of the field, which is _secondary_title. I'd love to see this as an option in the plugin, the code is only about 10 lines.
