Subtitles in Transmogrified

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to get the Transmogrified theme to display the journal subtitle? I've been looking and looking for CSS that would do this, since I figured it'd be relatively simple, but apparently not? I would appreciate any help that is offered. Thanks so much!

That isn't a css thing, the journal subtitle isn't called by Transmogrified at all; it doesn't appear in the html. What you would need to do is make a theme layer that adds the subtitle to your header. If you want to try that, I'll look up which function you need to paste in; it shouldn't be too complicated.

This isn't a CSS issue, it's an issue within the Transmogrified style itself. The style never calls the function that prints the journal subtitle, so it's just not availlable. To get the theme to print the subtitle, you'd need to use the advanced customization area, and create a custom layer to override the Page::print() function.

The basic idea is, you create your own private version of Transmogrified, then go tinker with the style code to make it do what you want it to do.

Unfortunately CSS won't help you here. I'm not sure why it's not just in the style to begin with and have contacted the styles team about it; we might be able to just add it in.

In the meantime, I *can* tell you how to do it using layer overrides, if you're willing to be a little patient with me, since I've never instructed anybody in how to do it before. But I've gotten it working myself.
