   Hi Steve,

   I'm trying to add the_subheading to the postmeta in a thematic child theme using the built in override:

   function  childtheme_override_postheader_postmeta() {
   	if (is_single() || is_page())
   	{
   	    $postmeta = the_subheading('<p>', '</p>');
   }
   return $postmeta;
   }

   (this is simplified but shows the gist of it)

   This inserts the subheading text immediately before the h1 post title, which is mystifying me a bit. Same thing happens if I try to filter the post title.

   I could reposition it using css but not really ideal in terms of HTML flow.

   I know the override is working fine as when I use a simple text string, it sits nicely under the title where it should be. So it obviously has something to do with the_subheading('<p>', '</p>')

   I've had a look at the plug-in code but my PHP skills are still in the cut, paste & tweak novice range, so while I can kind of make out what's going on, I can't see what else I should try.

   Would appreciate any pointers. Great plugin btw.

   thanks

   Bob

   Hi Bob,

   It's been a while since I last looked at this plugin, however I think it should be an easy adjustment.

   By default the_subheading() function will echo the value, but if you pass a third parameter of false, the value should be returned instead. Try changing it to the following:

   $postmeta = the_subheading('<p>', '</p>', false);

   - Steve

   Steve,

   That did the trick. Love it when there's a simple solution!

   Many thanks
