Subtitle ‘block’ in backend

    I installed the plugin. Then I can create a new post, and there is a place to add the subtitle (nr. 1 in image below). But now also a second subtitle place (‘block’, I don’t know how to call this) appears, nr. 2 in image below.
    What is this? Why is this appearing? And why is it separated from the part [1] where I can actually enter the subtitle?

    Image to show what I mean

    subtitle2

    It’s probably related to you being on a recent enough version of WP that I added a metabox so that metabox will show up in Gutenberg. Though I was pretty sure I added that as a panel now… and the metabox probably needs to be removed whenever I find some spare time.

    If using the classic editor, I’d stick to the input at position 1.

    Can you tell me what version of WP you are running? Are you using the classic editor plugin?

    I use the most recent WP version (WordPress 5.4.2)
    I use the classic editor.

    Ad position 2 there is no possibility to add anything. It’s just there.
    The only possibility (in classic editor) to add a subtitle is at position 1, but this part seems completely disconnect to position 2.

    But position 2 is connected to ‘screen options’ in the WP dashboard.
    At screen options I can check/uncheck ‘subtitle’ and then position 2 appears/disappears.
    But this has no effect on pos. 1
    And pos. 2 appearing, is of no use, since it’s not possible to add anything there.

    see images:
    long version (not collapsed!). Notice the difference with the Excerpt part, where I can actually add text.

    not collapsed

    collapsed version:

    Thanks for the additional info. It’s a metabox so it will be connected to the screen options. I’m pretty sure there’s no more need for it, so it can probably be removed entirely.

    OK, but I can’t do that. You already wrote that you’re doing that when you have time. So, I’m waiting for the update!

    Is the extra metabox causing you any problems? This plugin doesn’t pay my bills, so sorry, but it cannot be prioritized over paying work.

    No. And now I understand what it is doing and where it comes from, and that helps a lot. Because first I thought maybe I made a mistake, or I needed to do something or so.
    Understanding is part of the solution.

    And I totally understand that you prioritize paid work. It’s nice to ‘meet’ a plugin developer that is not a large company ?? Which makes me curious about your motivation to develop a plugin, but that is a completely different issue.

    Thank you very much for your quick replies. I mark this topic as solved.
