I cannot even say for sure that this plugin works. The UI requires entering the subtitle in the right side panel and not inline with the post text where I’d expect it. I took 10-15 minutes just to discover this. Then I tried to preview the post to see if the subtitle rendered and it did not. So the only way to know if this plugin is working is to publish a post. I refuse to publish a post to verify the plugin works. The plugin should display the subtitle in the preview and ideally in the post editor.
I’m using WordPress 5.3.2 (which is the latest verified working version with this plugin at the time of this writing).
Reading over the description of the plugin, it appears that I must edit the theme. I’m not going to do that either. There must be a better way to add subtitles.

I found this plugin when developing a theme where I needed to show the subtitle below the title of the page/post/CPT. Now I saw many reviews saying what’s the point of this plugin or this is not a plug-n-play plugin etc. and I would like those people to say, trust me, guys, you have no development experience whatsoever, otherwise you would have understood the importance of the plugin and thanked that it is not a plug-n-play plugin which gives you full control over how you wanna show, where you wanna show and styling.
When Gutenberg was in beta it has the subheading block built-in, but then it did not get released. What a shame! Anyways, I initially thought that I will create a custom Gutenberg Block myself for the subheading, but I quickly saw that any block you make will be shown inside the the_content(); section. Which didn’t worked for me as I wanted it outside of the content so that I can place it below the title and show where I want it to be shown. Also, you can easily add the subtitle support to your CPT which is truly awesome.
Again, I will highly recommend this plugin and I would have given 10 stars if it was possible. I just hope that the plugin developer maintains the plugin in future and not leave it in the middle as this is truly an amazing plugin which I would hate to see die.

Does what it advertises efficiently.
I give it 4-stars as it needs a bit of development support on the theme templates to display the subtitles — not quite plug-and-play

Thank you very much for that plugin. It works perfectly in multiple of my clients installations.
For the fifth star: It would be very convenient (for me) to have the default behaviour of get_the_subtitle() changed to return the content rather than echo it.
1. It would go along with the behaviour of WordPress built-in functions ( get_the_title(), get_the_content() etc.)
2. I have to provide 3 extra paramters ( $before, $after and $echo ) everytime I want to do this simple switch.
Another suggestion would be to check if $post is already set and use it automatically if so. (That way i wouldnt have to use any params at all in most of my use-cases. …and YES, I am lazy ?? )

I do not like to comment, but this plugin deserves more than 5 stars. It is light, easy to install, it’s perfect for me. Congratulations for the work.

This is an excellent and well developed subtitle plugin, adding the feature as if it was part of the WordPress core and allowing Theme developers to add support accordingly.

As far as I can tell from using this plugin and reading its documentation, all it does is it dumps the “subtitle” wherever you add <?php the_subtitle(); ?>. Then you have to style that, such as bu surrounding the PHP tag in an <h3>.
How is this a lot better than just starting the post with a heading? That doesn’t require figuring out how to add the tag (locate “Single Post” in Appearance -> Editor), or where exactly to insert the tag (before the_content, for example) – both things that aren’t mentioned in the docs.

Thank you for making this available on the WordPress repo, and for having documentation about adding custom post types.
Works wonderfully.

I’m a theme developer and have used this on a few client projects. After building similar functionality myself into a public theme I’m getting ready to release, I’ve decided to separate out the functionality and just include this plugin as a recommended plugin:) Thank you Ben and Husani.

Using this plug-in multiple times, always good.
Don’t know why this got lower ratings then other subtitle plug-ins, but it works pretty good! Even outside the loop.

I’d been using this plugin a while and noted that it hadn’t been updated for a long time and was starting to produce errors in more recent versions of WordPress.
I approached the initial developer, Husani, who was happy to give me commit access to update the plugin.
I’ve now updated WP Subtitle to work with the most recent versions of WordPress, added basic support for custom post types, and added some useful filters in their too.
A great example of how open source should work within the WordPress community.
I hope that plugin developers take note and willingly share commit access with other WordPress developers to help keep plugins updated and current. This is particularly good for the smaller simple plugins which tend to be less well supported, but are easy for any WordPress developer to update without a huge learning curve.
