Add Subtitle to Genesis Theme
Lab: WordPress Post Metadata (Custom Fields) Basics
Video Runtime: 12:19
If you work with Genesis-powered themes, like I do, then you need to modify your strategy a bit for adding in a subtitle to a single post type. Let’s walk through it together as well as explore the Genesis codebase.
Genesis builds the post’s title HTML structure in the lib/structure/post.php
file in the function genesis_do_post_title()
. This function is a registered callback to the event genesis_entry_header
.
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_do_post_title' );
Let’s look at this code and how it builds the post title’s HTML.
Hands off the keyboard. Web development starts by thinking first, then planning it out, and then coding it.
