Subtitle

  • Hi,
    Me again. Sorry! I wanted to add this subtitle plugin.

    KIA Subtitle

    it isnt showing up on my theme and their site says something about using this code

    is this installation something we can use?

    KIA Subtitle

    if so does the code go into the custom CSS spot?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hello,

    WordPress.com does not allow to modify the core files of the theme because such change will affect other users who use the same theme at WordPress.com.

    If the plugin requires to modify the theme files in order to function, then approach will not work at WordPress.com.

    “if so does the code go into the custom CSS spot?”
    – No. CSS option is only for CSS styles. Instructions shown on the plugin’s page talks about PHP code. PHP code cannot be used in the CSS option.

    If you want to display the secondary title on your page then you’ll need to use a plugin which automatically outputs it. For example, you can try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/secondary-title/

    Based on the plugin’s description, it can output the secondary title without a need of modifying the theme files.

    Please check the plugin’s official documentation for more information about on how to use it.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Taras

  • awesome thanks! That did the trick.

    Gonna ask another question now!

    My staff says its very hard to write titles and they are constantly finding that they made case errors with the wrong letters capitalized because titles we write are in ALL CAPS until we click “publish” or view preview.

    Like if I type this in the header it would appear as if type it like this

    LIKE IF I TYPE THIS IN THE HEADER IT WOULD APPEAR AS IF TYPE IT LIKE THIS

    Why, when inputting a title in the post header, does this theme force it to be shown in all CAPS in the editor??

    Is there any code to make it display AS we type it so that we aren’t embarrassed when things go on google search and we find that we missed a letter in the middle of a word which somehow ended up uppercase. :)

    It creates an extra step for us to have to double check which case is used everywhere…

  • Hello Drew,

    “Why, when inputting a title in the post header, does this theme force it to be shown in all CAPS in the editor??”
    – This is because of the initial design of the theme.

    The page will become more flexible when WordPress will introduce a stable functionality for the site editing using blocks only. In that case, it will be possible to modify many elements on your page, including the page title.

    For now, you can disable uppercase styles for the titles on your actual site using a custom CSS:

    
    .site .entry-title {
      text-transform: none;
    }
    

    However, this custom CSS will be not be loaded in the Editor. WordPress does not have an option to load custom CSS specifically for the Editor.

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Kind regards,
    Taras

  • Wow thanks for your help as usual. That’s a pity – it seems most issues are WordPress’s fault for bad design! You do so much to try and get around their bad limitations. Thank you.

  • You are always welcome, Drew.

    The new WordPress editor — Gutenberg (Block) — is getting better and better every WordPress release. So, it should simplify the process of WordPress site customization in near future :)

    If you’ll have any other questions regarding the theme, feel free to open a new thread in this forum, and I will be happy to help.

    Kind regards,
    Taras
