The Problem
In the world of content creation, a blog post title must serve two masters with conflicting objectives. Its primary role is to clearly communicate to readers and search engines what the post is about. However, when long, keyword-rich titles are displayed on archive pages or in query loops, they are too long, dare I say clunky, and what helps a search engine or reader isn’t likely to engage or entice visitors to click through.
The Solution
The Short Title Block plugin resolves this conflict by giving you the flexibility to add a short, enticing title to posts. This short title can be used on archive pages and in query loops.
Using a short title in this way will significantly improve click-through rates and overall engagement in query loops and on archive pages without compromising the primary purpose of your post titles.
The plugin also adds an additional control to the Title block that lets you choose the short title.
But what happens if you don’t add a Short Title to your post?
No worries. The plugin has logic in place to use the default title if the Short Title is not available.
Review the screenshot for detailed “How-To” instructions for the plugin.

The plugin is built specifically for the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg). Block-level disable controls are available for supported core Gutenberg blocks. Content created with third-party block plugins may still be animated, but block-level disable controls may not be available.
This plugin is intended for users who want to elevate the visual feel of their website without the budget or complexity of custom animation development.
