get_the_subtitle() not working on latest wordpress version 5.2 (Preview)

[joelpierre]

Using get_the_subtitle() is no longer working on wordpress 5.2. It doesn't return anything.

Please can you provide some information about how the subtitle is implemented in your templates.

Are you able to set the subtitle in the admin? Is it just the display that is not working.

Are you using the block editor or classic editor?

Hello Ben, I'm having the same issues. I have WP 5.2.3 and using the block editor, the subtitle shows on the editor view at the admin panel only. It does not display on page view. Not sure I'm implementing it properly. I'm still using the legacy the_subtitle. I've been to your docs. Not sure how to implement it.

Weird thing it seems the problem only exist on Preview Mode but on Live Page View the subtitle displays.

@xzykho Just to confirm it should work on published pages, it's just the preview where it is broken?

This relates back to functionality that was introduced to store revision subtitles - there is already and issue pending for fixing the subtitle not showing on Previews #41

Sorry I went cold on this.

I am using the classic editor (because it is the best :-)) and using <?php get_the_subtitle() ?> in the template.

Hi Ben, Yeah, if the page is published and I view it the Subtitle is displayed. But if I go back to edit mode and preview the changes the Subtitle doesn't show.

Thank you for getting back to me and letting me know about the pending fix.

If it is just in preview that this isn't working, I think it relates to existing issue #41
