1. Alignment

Add fields

To add fields to the title(s), extend the Fields class as follows:

     // Replace the plugin's Fields class with our class extending it
     add_filter ('acfct_set_fields_class',  function() { return 'myFields'; });

     // Add custom CSS to style the new fields
     add_action ('complex_titles_css', 'addMyStyles');

     /**
      * Add styling for the new fields
      *     Naming scheme is as follows:
      *         .complex-title-element-[your-field-acf-name]
      */

     function addMyStyles() {
         // Variable containing the styles we want to add
         $myStyles = "
            .complex-title-element-underline {
                text-decoration: underline;
            }
         ";

         // Enqueue these styles along with the plugin's other styles
         wp_add_inline_style( 'acf-complex-titles-style', $myStyles );
     }

     // Our class extending the plugin's class to add new fields
     class myFields extends MWD\ComplexTitles\Fields {
         /**
         * Field: Underline
         *
         * @author Michael W. Delaney
         * @since 1.0
         *
         * Checkbox
         */
        public $underline = array (
            'order' => '10',
            'field' => array (
                'key' => 'acfct_underline',
                'label' => 'Underline',
                'name' => 'underline',
                'type' => 'true_false',
            )
        );
     }

Enable only some fields

To remove fields from the available list, declare theme support for only the fields you wish to use:

add_theme_support( 'complex-titles-fields', array( 'word-or-phrase', 'size' ) );

Enable only some layouts

To remove layouts from the available list, declare theme support for only the layouts you wish to use:

add_theme_support( 'complex-titles-layout', array( 'alignment' ) );

Change which post types get Complex Titles

By default complex titles are enabled for Pages, to define which post types complex titles should be available on, declare theme support:

 $landing_page_templates = array(
   array (
     array (
       'param' => 'post_type',
       'operator' => '==',
       'value' => 'page',
     ),
     array (
       'param' => 'page_template',
       'operator' => '!=',
       'value' => 'template-no-header-image.php',
     ),
   ),
 );
 add_theme_support( 'complex-titles-location', $landing_page_templates );

Templates

Basic templates and styles are included. These templates are designed to be simple for styling via your theme. To override the included templates, copy the template(s) you wish to override from templates to your theme in a sub-directory called ct-templates

Styles

This plugin ships with basic styling for the default fields. These styles are enqueued on the front-end and in the WordPress admin so that the Complex Title preview area matches the front-end as closely as possible. To dequeue these styles and replace them with your own, add the following to functions.php

remove_action('complex_titles_css', array( $acf_complex_titles, 'front_end_styles' ) );
