No subtitle field when using block editor
-
Hi there,
Is this plugin supposed to work with Woo’s block editor?
I might be missing something, but can’t see a subtitle field anywhere in the data panel in the product editor. As the plugin adds a subtitle block I thought I’d be able to add a sub-title via block editor?
If I disable the block editor I can see a subtitle field just below the title field when using the classic editor.
Look forward to hearing from you
Many thanks!

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Sorry, you miss-understand what I meant, I probably wasn’t clear enough.
I can add the block (as show in your video), no problem.
The issue I have is that on the product edit screen for each product (posttype product) there is no field available to enter the subtitle value.
If I turn off the block editor (for product edit screen), then the subtitle field is there just below the title when using the classic editor. However, all of our products use the block editor in their long description so the classic editor isn’t an option for us.
I have found a work-around though. I also used AdminColumns Pro plugin, and have managed to add the subtitle post_meta field as an editable column in WooCommerce’s admin product listing.
My product edit screen below, showing no sub-title field.
Best regards
Hey many thanks for the update @spiderwares
It’s great that you’ve added it to the beta / future woo block editor!
Really sorry to say though, that’s not the block editor I meant.
For years, myself and others have been enabling the block editor on woocommerce product edit pages. Some themes have a built in way to enable or toggle it, or it can be done in child theme with a snippet similar to this:add_filter('use_block_editor_for_post_type', function ($is_enabled, $post_type) {
if ($post_type === 'product') {
return true; // Enable the block editor for WooCommerce products
}
return $is_enabled;
}, 10, 2);This enables the block editor in the long description, but also removes your subtitle field (as it appears adding custom fields below the title isn’t an option with this product block editor enabled):
For now, I’ve found work around and have added the subtitle field to the advanced tab within the product data panel:
Using the follow two functions in my child theme:
function add_pswc_subtitle_field_to_product_data_panel() {
global $post;
$subtitle = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pswc_subtitle', true);
?>
<div class="options_group">
<p class="form-field">
<label for="pswc_subtitle"><?php esc_html_e('Subtitle', 'my-child-theme'); ?></label>
<input type="text" class="short" name="pswc_subtitle" id="pswc_subtitle" value="<?php echo esc_attr($subtitle); ?>" />
<span class="description"><?php esc_html_e('Enter a subtitle for this product.', 'my-child-theme'); ?></span>
</p>
</div>
<?php
}
add_action('woocommerce_product_options_advanced', 'add_pswc_subtitle_field_to_product_data_panel');
function save_pswc_subtitle_field($post_id) {
if (isset($_POST['pswc_subtitle'])) {
update_post_meta($post_id, 'pswc_subtitle', sanitize_text_field($_POST['pswc_subtitle']));
}
}
add_action('woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'save_pswc_subtitle_field(');Works well for me, but thought I’d share!
Many thanks
