    Hi,

    I’m a fairly new user to wordpress and such detailed coding in general.
    Have been trying for the death of me to figure out where exactly to insert the

    <?php the_subtitle(); ?>

    command to ensure that the subtitles show on the front page as well as the individual post page too.

    Ive installed the WP Subtitle Plugin to make this happen, but am open to using the KIA Subtitle plugin too if it is easier
    Any Idea of where it could be added?

    Big Vote of thanks to Alexander for making such an epic theme free 🙂

  • Hello!

    It depends on where you want the subtitle to appear. In any way, you will have to put it in some theme file, which can be found in your site’s files in /wp-content/themes/hueman/. Could you please post a link to your site and tell me where you would like the subtitle to appear, so I could give you the most exact answer?

    Thank you!

    Hi Toth,

    My website it http://www.bambaiyaveggie.com

    I would like it to appear after the post title but before the By Author space.

    This is so that people who visit for the photo posts know where the photo was taken

    Thanks,
    Kshitij Shah

    Thank you very much!

    You will have to edit your theme’s single.php file. I suggest that you create a child theme, because if you do not do so, when you update the theme, it is most likely that this edit we are going to do here, will be lost. You can find a great article on how to create the child theme here:
    codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    After you have created the child theme folder and made the necessary edits to the style.css folder as the above article suggests, please copy the single.php file from the wp-content/themes/hueman/ folder to your child theme’s folder, and edit this file there (so not in the parent’s folder).

    In the single.php file, please find this part, it is on the beginning of the file, around line number 14

    <?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
    			<article <?php post_class(); ?>>
    				<div class="post-inner group">
    
    					<h1 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    					<p class="post-byline"><?php _e('by','hueman'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> &middot; <?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></p>
    
    					<?php get_template_part('inc/post-formats'); ?>

    And insert there the row

    <p class="post-byline"><?php the_subtitle(); ?></p>

    So at the end, it should look like this:

    <?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
    			<article <?php post_class(); ?>>
    				<div class="post-inner group">
    
    					<h1 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    					<p class="post-byline"><?php the_subtitle(); ?></p>
    					<p class="post-byline"><?php _e('by','hueman'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> &middot; <?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></p>
    
    					<?php get_template_part('inc/post-formats'); ?>

    Save the file, and reload your website.

    Please let me know if this solved your problem.

    If you have any additional questions, just drop a line here and I am happy to help you.
