[Resolved] Adding subheading below post title

[Matthew]

On TheDesk.net, I use a Subheading plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/subheading

The Subheading plugin wants me to insert the following code wherever I want the subheading to display:

<?php if (function_exists(‘the_subheading’)) { the_subheading(‘<p>’, ‘</p>’); } ?>

On my old theme, I had the subheading appear below the title, but above the date and author line. On GeneratePress, I’m not seeing where in the theme editor I should add the PHP code to make it so the subheading appears below the title but above the date and author line.

Hi there,

You can create a Hook Element to enter that line of PHP snippet:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/

Then select the after_entry_title hook:

Check the Execute PHP checkbox then set the hook priority to 5:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

It seems like it should have worked, but it didn’t…

This is what the site looks like now…

For reference, what’s the sub-heading for this specific post in your screenshot?

Can you try adding a static text to the Hook to first check if it’s adding?

For example, add this in your Hook Element:

<p>Sub-Heading</p>

Let us know if it appears.

The subheading should read:

“A last-minute funding deal fell through, leaving the company in an extremely difficult position.”

I added the <p> code but that didn’t do anything, either.

Update: Got it to work. While the installation instructions suggested that particular line of PHP, the plugin itself actually suggested adding this to the hook:

<?php the_subheading(); ?>

…d’oh.

Still, wouldn’t have thought to add it as a hook element in the first place, so thank you for your help!

I see. Glad you resolved the issue! You’re welcome, Matthew!
