Feature Request: above OR below #97

Open ThisIsTrue opened 6 years ago

Love the plugin: works right out of the box.

I'd love it if I could move the subtitle to be above the title, however, similar to the kicker feature previously requested, but that guy didn't answer questions about it, and I will.

Thanks!

@ThisIsTrue Thanks for bringing this up again. The easiest way of handling this right now would be at the theme level, because any plugin changes to how subtitles worked would mess up a ton of sites. Another way, down the road, might be to just create a separate plugin or a separate feature called "kickers" that does exactly what Subtitles does but in reverse (above the title). I'm leaving this open because I think it's a valid issue that could definitely use a solution.

The "guy" has now answered the question. :-)

Thanks, Philip, for your quick reply. I don't think a change in the plugin has to change ANY existing implementations. Simply adding an option click (with the default being unclicked, of course, so as to not affect existing use) would do it. Like so:

And thanks, Thomas, for popping in too. I had forgotten your name in between seeing your suggestion and making my post. :flushed:

@ThisIsTrue Noting that this is still a valid enhancement. Planning on adding this to a future release.

Sorry to flip-flop on this so quickly, but after thinking about this more, I'd like to avoid putting this into the plugin in the next release.

Right now there's a very easy way to do this: use the_subtitle and get_the_subtitle, which are documented here. So the steps would be:

  1. Turn off automatic subtitles.
  2. Edit the theme files and place subtitles above titles.

I'll leave this open and punt it for future consideration. It's too much given the changes in #68 and #101 that will come soon.
