    Hi all,

    As there’s only very little information on how the vulnerability was detected, I have to go through every file. But this will be fixed ASAP!

    Thanks so much for your patience.

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Where did you receive this information, and can you provide further details?

    Hi @konradpiotr,

    As said before, nobody can tell for sure how much the secondary title contributes to the overall ranking of a website, if at all. Google uses a plethora of variables to determine what is what on a website.

    You can help Google (and other search engines) to “understand” your website better by using approved HTML5 elements. Generally, for titles, use <h1> elements in hierarchical order from <h1> to <h6>. That’s often enough for search engines to determine the significance of this text.

    Hi @adminkapil,

    Please wrap your secondary title in, like, <span> tags, and then use either inline CSS or external CSS with a class to adjust the line-height property.

    Hi @polaatx,

    Could you explain how I can reproduce this issue? Thanks!

    Hi @konradpiotr,

    Sorry, but I don’t think anyone can give you a verified answer here since Google’s (and other search engines) algorithms are kept secure – for a good reason.

    Does using Secondary Title can influence your ranking? Sure – just like anything on your website. But don’t get excited about it, either way. It’s just one small part of your website.

    My hands are tied behind my back. There’s only so much support a developer can give without seeing the actual code. Which you still haven’t sent to me.

    Hi @polaatx,

    I kind of have to tip-toe here. On one side, I’d really like to help you out quickly, but forum guidelines forbid me.

    A huge help would be if I had access to your website – no, dear forum mods, not that access – like the theme directories in use. Please send the files .zipped to kolja.nolte @ gmail.com, and I’ll have a look at how you can solve this through my instructions.

    Hi @polaatx,

    The easiest way to hide/display the secondary title on specific pages is very easily done via CSS.

    1. Go to the affected page.
    2. In your admin bar on top of the screen, click “Customize”
    3. Below, open “Custom CSS”

    Here, we can now make up our rules. However, this only works if we give the secondary an HTML class or ID – otherwise we can’t find it in CSS. So, let’s do that.

    1. Go to Secondary Title’s settings page
    2. Make sure “Auto show” is “On”
    3. In “Title format”: Make up your format and wrap the secondary title in a span just like in this example:

    <strong>%title%</strong>: <span class="secondary-title">%secondary_title%

    We now have the class .secondary-title and can now control where it shows up where it doesn’t.

    Since we want it to show up on most pages, we only have to navigate to one of the affected pages and find the <body>. This element has a class with many identifying information, like “home”, or “single”, or “password-protected”.

    If we don’t want to display the secondary title on single post pages, follow the instructions above and use this in your Custom CSS:

    .singular .secondary-title {
   display: block;
}

    P.S.: Use Google Chrome’s inspector tool to see if an element has the right class, like here:

    https://cln.sh/yHJ7Jkwv
    Check the classes

    Again, in short:

    • Do not touch the theme (yet)
    • turn “Auto show” on and wrap the secondary title into a <span>-Tag.
    • Give the tag a class, i.e. <span class="secondary-title">
    • Find out a unique class from the pages’ <body> classes
    • Use display: none; in CSS to hide it. You might have to use !important.

    Hi @grandadmiral12345,

    That’s very easily possible.

    All you have to do is finding a unique element ID or class where you’d like to hide it. Let’s assume it’s in the sidebar. The code could look as easy as this:

    #sidebar .secondary-title { display: none }

    However, for this to work, you must wrap the %secondary_title% placeholder in the “Title format” section of Secondary Title’s settings page into a unique element. LIke this:

    <span id="secondary-title">%secondary_title%</span>........

    If you show me the site you’re having the issue with, I can quickly give you the CSS change needed. It’s really just CSS.

    If you had built websites from scratch, you would be able to fill out a simple copy-and-paste website. If you’re so skilled, I’m wondering why you even ended up in the support forum?

    Plugin Author thaikolja

    (@thaikolja)

    Again, I’m sorry, but you seem to lack basic WordPress understanding. It’s impossible for me to help you via this forum when you’re not able to copy and paste a simple text. And yes, the video does work.

    I seriously don’t want to pick a fight here, but I must be blunt on this. It seems like you don’t even take the time to Google how to get the Health Status and how to share it.

    Please get a bit more familiar with WordPress, its plugins, and how it all works. This doesn’t only help me but also you. The more information I get, the faster I can render support.

    Dear @nealumphred,

    Once again, I don’t think you understand WordPress’ plugin repository. Most of the plugins here are programmed by volunteers. Volunteers who have day jobs, many of them can’t keep up with maintaining their dozens of years old plugin.

    I gave you what I’m allowed to do in this forum. I’m not allowed to help you directly outside of this forum. I’m also not allowed to fix it for you, which I would have done if it was allowed. I don’t say I like these kinds of rules, but they are in place, so we have to follow them.

    Should I assume my problem cannot be fixed and simply delete the Secondary Titles plugin?

    I’m sorry, but yes, please delete the plugin and find a replacement. I gave you more support during my little free time than most others, but you – for some reason – refuse to at least share WP’s Health Status. To make it easy for you, I recorded it, step by step, but you stuck because you can’t see the cursor for a few seconds. If those seconds were important, you can be assured that they would have been in the video. The video itself still shows

    I’m sorry to say this because I actually like to help out people. However, you behave a little bit too entitled, and under these circumstances, I’m no longer willing to spend any more of my free time fixing your individual issue.

    Please read up on plugins and WordPress; maybe that solves some of your questions. There are great resources on WP’s Codex.

    All the best to you.
