Default for second title possible?

oh, second question: how to manage the subtitle in a new line?

Hi @iriteser,

Please excuse the late reply.

how to manage the subtitle in a new line?

You can do this by adding <br> to the title format.

Question: I have round about 3000 blog posts. Is it possible to set a default value so all are changed in once?

Not by default, but you could loop through all posts and then set it programmatically. Here’s an example:

<?php
/** Array to store updated posts for results */
$updated = [];

/** Get all posts */
$posts = get_posts(
	[
		"post_type" => "post", // The post type you'd like to change
		"showposts" => -1 // To loop through ALL posts
	]
);

/** Only run if Secondary Title is active */
if(function_exists("get_secondary_title")) {
	/** Loop through all posts */
	foreach($posts as $post) {
		$secondary_title = get_secondary_title($post->ID);

		/** Skip this post if it already has a secondary title (and is longer than 3 characters) */
		if(strlen($secondary_title) >= 3) {
			continue;
			/** Add // before "continue" if you want to disable the skipping */
		}

		$updated[] = update_post_meta(
			$post->ID,
			"_secondary_title",
			"[Werbung] "
		);
	}

	/** Display results */
	echo count($updated) . " posts have been updated.";
}

I didn’t test this. Do not run this code snippet without adjusting it to your needs and don’t forget to make a database backup before.
