Copy historic post titles to subtitle | WordPress.org

Hi

I have just downloaded this plugin, and it works perfectly for what I need.

While it’s great going forwards for new posts, one thing I would like to do is replicate the titles of my historic posts into the new sub-title field.

Is this possible/straightforward? I’m assuming it will need some MySQL scripting.

While I am ok editing PHP, I’m not so hot on MySQL so any help would be appreciated!

I’m not sure I see the point in having the subtitle be the same as the title? The subtitle is only post meta( key= kia_subtitle ). If you are ok with PHP then query all the posts, loop through them and update_post_meta() on ones that don’t have a subtitle. No MySQL needed.

This is by no means correct for your situation, but as an example of how to loop through posts and update read my answer here:
