Hi there
How do you add a subtitle below the main title that sits above the featured image, as you see here:
https://www.which.co.uk/money/tax/capital-gains-tax/capital-gains-tax-if-you-sell-a-business-abgei4X5P9iVIdeally, the copy is added in the post edit window so it’s easy to add (I don’t want to create a new element for each post).
Thanks!

Hi there,
in the example the “subtitle” is the excerpt of the post, if you look at the archives on that site yau will see the text is the same.
Is that a requirement on your site ? ie. the subtitle is the archive excerpt.

Hi David,
I don’t need subtitles to appear on the archive pages (I choose not to show them there), but I do like the idea of using excerpts as they’re easy for my writers to populate (i.e., the excerpt field is in the post admin screen).
Thanks

OK then use the manual Excerpt field in the editor.
And then:1. In Appearance > GeneratePress activate the Elements Module.
2. Then create a new Block Element in Appearance > Elementshttps://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-hook/
3.Set the Hook to
after_entry_title4.Set the display rules location to: `Posts -> All Posts
5 in the Editor add a GB Headline block, and in the sidebar Dynamic Data settings, activate that and set its Content Source to show the Excerpt.

Great, I’ve got that working. This is fine for new posts that I add an excerpt for. The only issue is that none of my old posts have excerpts yet. For those I get a ‘Read More’ that appears. I noticed a “Use default more link” in the element sidebar, I turned that off, but I still get a “…” where the excerpt goes.
Obviously I could just go over all old posts and update them, then switch this on, but that could take forever. Or I could just target the posts that have an excerpt in display settings, but that would be a bit tedious. Anything else you can suggest to NOT show the excerpt for posts that don’t have it yet?
Thanks

Hi Gedosan,
Excerpts should be generated automatically if no manual excerpt is set.
Can you provide a link to a post that has no excerpt appearing?
What excerpt length did you set as well?: https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/dynamic-data-options-overview/#excerpt

Don’t worry, I’ll just update the excerpts for old posts. Thanks for the help.
