Post Subtitle
=============

[](#post-subtitle)

A module that adds a subtitle field below the post title field in WordPress.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.4+
- WordPress 4.6+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Add the module to your project via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require wpscholar/wp-post-subtitle
```

2. Make sure you have added the Composer autoloader to your project:

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The subtitle feature is activated by adding post type support.

If you are adding support to a pre-existing post type, just add this code:

```
add_post_type_support( 'post', 'subtitle' );
```

Be sure to replace `post` with the name of your post type.

Or, in the `supports` argument when registering a post type, just add `subtitle`.

Available Methods
-----------------

[](#available-methods)

The following static methods are publicly available (under the `wpscholar\Wordpress\PostSubtitle` namespace):

- `getSubtitle( $post_id )` - Get the subtitle for a specific post.
- `setSubtitle( $post_id, $value )` - Set the subtitle for a specific post.

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

If you are adding the code to a WordPress plugin or theme, there is no initialization step required. However, if you are adding the code at a higher level in your WordPress project you will need to call the initialization function on the `after_setup_theme` hook, like so:

```
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', '\wpscholar\WordPress\PostSubtitle::initialize' );
```

Useful information in the reports module : xclass, ajax, cliKeys, eID, general status of the system (encoding, DB, php vars...), hooks, compare local and TER extension (diff), used content type, used plugins, ExtDirect... It can really help you during migration or new existing project (to have a global reports of the system).
