Right now WordPress currently presents no easy way for web publishers to add subtitles into their posts, pages, and other custom post types. This leaves users and developers in a bit of a quandary, trying to figure out how best to present subtitles in a beautiful and sensible way. Post excerpts are a very poor choice for subtitles and the only available option outside of custom fields, but custom fields aren’t entirely self-explanatory or user-friendly. This simple, straightforward plugin aims to solve this issue.
Simply download Subtitles, activate it, and begin adding subtitles into your posts and pages today. For more advanced usage of the plugin, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.

It would be great to set the font sizes. This for single posts pages and in the archives/overview (where it is very small and difficult to read for older people). But the plugin does work great otherwise 🙂
Subtitles disappeared from editor after WP update. No way to transfer them out of the plugin except by manual copy and paste.
Not compatible with bbPress. Not showing there on forums and topics area.
Still 5 stars ⭐️
Thanks. Hopefully it will get Gutenberg support too when the time comes.
This plugin does what it says, adds subtitles to your post. And does it really well blending with the layout seamlessly.
