KIA subtitle allows you to add a subtitle to your posts and retrieve it in the loop in the same manner as the post title. By using the Subtitle block or the the_subtitle() or get_the_subtitle() template tags.
It adds an input field right under the title field of posts, pages and any custom post type. It also add a subtitle column to the edit screen as well as to the quick edit.
You can also use the Subtitle block or the shortcode [the-subtitle] to display it within the post content.
The plugin provides a Subtitle block in the editor. In the post editor, this doesn’t make a lot of sense, but mimics the core Title block. The ideal use case for the Subtitle block is when editing your theme
We have been using this plugin for a while now, and it always works out of the box, there are some small modifications and css lines we added for it to do what we need. Its a really good plugin and the support from Helga is awesome! Hope to see this going for the decades to come!
easy to use
