/config is url for site owner.

You mean this page? https://heron-olive-sh9k.squarespace.com/beachlife

I see sub title here. Do you still need help?

Hi Tuanphan, Thanx for your reply. 

That is the page im showcasing my work right now. The problem there is that it is not clear for people that the images are clickable.  So that's why I started to showcase my work in a portfolio page (but this one is still hidden since it is not finished yet).

I want the portfolio page to look the same as this page https://heron-olive-sh9k.squarespace.com/beachlife

So im wondering how I can add a subtitle to the titles under the thumbnails. 

Hope you can help me out with this 🙂

Can you share link to portfolio page? We can check easier

Hi Tuanphan, 

The link is https://www.noraboeke-art.com/series-2 and the password: thankyou

Hi Tuanphan, 

Thanx for your reply. 

Im wondering what im doing wrong since its not working yet. 
Attached 2 photo's with what I did. 

Also I would like to have the subtitle in normal weight as on the last image (that's from a normal page and not a portfolio grid). 

Not sure why, but your code has invalid character. Try copy this code then enter title box

I've copied  Seah <span>Fine art print</span> to the title box in project settings. 
Do I need to do this somewhere else? 


 

That strange. Just tested on my site & It worked here.

Do you use Personal Plan or higher?

I use a business account. 

Really strange.. 

Thanx for your help though 🙂

Hi Tuanpan, 

I found out that this code is working for the portfolio layout: grid overlay. So that's great! 
The thing is... im using the 'grid simple' design. So maybe there is another code needed for that one?

Thanks for your reply. I tried this a had similar results to @noraboeke-art, it worked for the portfolio layout:grid overlay where the text overlays the image but not for the portfolio layout:simple grid where text is below image.

I use personal plan. Do I need a higher account to do this simple thing?

Hello, 

I have tried this code, which has worked wonderfully. Thank you Tuanphan (I have been following some of your answers over this forum, and I am so grateful for your generosity of this knowledge)

h3.portfolio-title span {
    display: block;
    font-size: 12px;
}

Title <span>Subtitle</span>

I have a quick question. following this code. with this code I was able to add a subtitle under the title of a project on the thumbnails - great. Now, Is it possible to have the option to add like 3-4 subtitles? one subtitle has its own line?

I am not knowledgeable of custom CSS, so again, I am very grateful for this forum 🙂

This works, thank you so much. 

What if I have longer text than what the title page settings can take ? Is there a way to add more text space. 

also is there a code that adjust line height of the subtitle on thumbnails. When I try changing the title height, it doesn't affect the subtitles correctly. 

this is so helpful. thank you so much.

I use the personal plan now. Do I need a higher plan to do a subtitle for the simple portfolio grid?

Hi. Have you solved this yet?

Not yet! 😞

Hi @tuanphan,

First of all – thanks for your generosity and helpfulness across the forum.

Regarding the Portfolio thumbnail subtitling using <span>, these subtitles also show as part of the portfolio item's title (thus it also appears on top of the browser window when entering the portfolio item page, as well as in the pagination field, where too long titles often clutter the layout). See attached screenshot.

Is there any way to add subtitles on Portfolio thumbnails without cluttering the page titles with the same text?

PS: it seems you can also add simple code like <br> and font-styling in the title field in the settings of each portfolio item, and they will show correctly on the portfolio thumbnails. However, then all the text + coding also appear as page titles just like when using <span>.

Thanks!

You can use | or - character, however this will require JavaScript to solve.

You can add Title | Sub Title| then we  will check.

It sill appear on browser tab, however I think it will be better than <br> tag.

Thanks, @tuanphan. The use of | definitely looks better, but as you say – the titles will still show on browser tabs and in pagination. As for jscript, would this be a complicated matter to solve?

@vcampaner, did you find a solution?
