Title: Sub heading wrong position Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Sub heading wrong position * Resolved [Hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/) * (@hivey) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/) * Sub heading is showing below author name and post date. It is also in bold and not regular or italic font. * Any help is appreciated. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subheading/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subheading/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [Hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/) * (@hivey) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182483) * I forgot to add web site [http://www.hackneyhive.co.uk](http://www.hackneyhive.co.uk) * _[[No bumping](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#No_Bumping), thank you.]_ * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stvwhtly/) * (@stvwhtly) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182489) * Hi, * Which method have you used to integrate sub headings? * If you opted for the automatic display method, it may not appear in exactly the right position based on the theme you are using. * I would recommend using the manual integration method if possible, as stated in the FAQs section titled “How can I stop subheadings appearing in places I don’t want them to?” * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subheading/faq/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subheading/faq/) * [zondar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zondar/) * (@zondar) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182494) * [@hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/), * I see what you mean – where your subtitle appears, it doesn’t even look like a subheading. * I just spent a couple hours trying to sort out vertical alignment for the Subheading plugin – there’s a big gap between it and the byline; no amount of Firebugging will reveal the cause. * With regret, had to give up and install Subtitle 360, which delivers nice tight spacing; if you’re not dependent on h5 or h6 styles, you can specify in the ( tiny!) index.php file and alter the CSS in style.css for your theme. * NB: Also tried: KIA Subtitle: Didn’t display correctly.Poor documentation. The Subtitle: Didnt work. Poor documentation. Visual Subheading: Promising but quirky. HTML code shows up on a feature image slider. (!) * Clients don’t pay for endless tweaking, so the plugins that work well first time are the ones we recommend. * Thread Starter [Hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/) * (@hivey) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182495) * Zondar are you the developer of this other plugin? * Thread Starter [Hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/) * (@hivey) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182496) * Steve will try to figure it out, but I’m no techie and totally lost. * [zondar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zondar/) * (@zondar) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182497) * [@hivey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hivey/), * Ha, Developer ?! No, I’m a writer and editor thrown in the deep end when our PHP guy went off to your part of the world, and I also look after some sites he worked on. * WP has come a long way in a couple of years but the weak link is half-baked or obsolete plugins (not meaning ‘Subheading’) that can use up hours of valuable time, and should be deleted from the WP supository. * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stvwhtly/) * (@stvwhtly) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182498) * Hiya, * I’m assuming that you were using the the automated method of displaying subheadings? If this is the case, the plugin uses the ‘the_content’ filter to prepend the subtitle before the content of the post (or page) with the tags defined on the settings page. * The only way to ensure that the subheadings appear exactly where (and how) you would like is to edit the theme template and call ‘the_subheading’ function from there: * `', '

');}? >` * You should then disable the auto append option on the settings page. * Regarding the ‘big gap’, this was probably a result of the tags used to surround the subheading. Altering the tag or adding additional styles could have resolved this layout issue. * Does this point you in the right direction? * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stvwhtly/) * (@stvwhtly) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182499) * [@zondar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zondar/) * I actually believe this plugin to be far superior to subtitle 360, as subheading should be able to provide the same functionality – and more – of that plugin. * With regards to your question in the support forum for subtitle 360, you asked why this didn’t work: * `','

'); }?>` * Using subheading you could have used: * `', '

'); } ?>` * All you would have to do is disable the auto append setting. * [zondar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zondar/) * (@zondar) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182500) * [@steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve/), * Good to see a developer looking after his product – prompt response is appreciated. Yes, your plugin does have some plus points – namely config options and styling is easy to change, as above. * With ‘Subheading’ installed the second example you quoted worked fine, but when‘ Subtitle 360’ (and modified code; example1) was tested, the modified styling did not show up on the post. * We use Genesis on all sites, with Simple Hooks plugin which makes things really easy. So the snippet above just gets pasted into the ‘show after title’ box. * [davidwkeen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidwkeen/) * (@davidwkeen) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sub-heading-wrong-position/#post-3182501) * Okay, I’m lost here. I’m a novice when it comes to code. I would like the subhead to appear immediately after the title and before the date and author. What file should I be pasting * > ’, ‘

’);}? > > * into?
