Hi Alex,

If you wish to try inserting column placeholders in the actual Page title itself, as far as I can see, this is not currently possible.

 I did some testing with WPBakery Page Builder and several Themes, but going to double-check with our QA Team and the developers to be sure.

I believe this is a current limitation, the Master-Details column placeholders are intended to be used as part of any Page element.

If you check on our Documentation example, in the first one where we just show how it renders in a paragraph as part of a text block;

then later on in a Heading in a text block;

In the tests I did today, I have the same result as you wrote, basically in any kind of element/block on the Page, they are rendering;

but if I try as part of the actual Page Title or in the "title tab", that can not currently work.

So it seems at the moment you would need to hide the actual Page title and create a large header instead like H1 element if you need it to render the column placeholder and at the moment we don't have a solution to render it as part of the page title tab, too.

For example in the WPBakery Builder, we can hide the page Title and instead replace it with a heading element to render master details column placeholders, other builders should have the same option.

As soon as I get the official confirmation to double-check if that was intended to be used like that ( As part of Page Title and title tab) or not, we will report back to confirm it for you.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi Alex,

Just following up to confirm, our QA Team does not have anything to add and what I wrote is correct.

To summarize, the Master Details was not indended to be rendering the column placeholders as part of the Page title or title tab itself;

for the time being that is not possible. You can only render the column placeholders as part of any page element, as you found and as we can now confirm.

If you wish to see the possibility to render column placeholders as part of the Page Title or title tab - you can make a development suggestion, but we can't say if or when this might be possible.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

Hi Alex,

My apology for taking so long, I was double-checking all the details again to make sure we don't have anything useful to add in the meantime.

You're welcome, I did my best to confirm everything with the QA Team and the devs.

That is our current limitation when it comes to 'out of the box solutions'.

We will do our best to add this in the future, but still can't say an ETA on it.

That is awesome, I am glad to see you were able to make a custom solution for the use-case.

If you wish, you could share it with us and I can pass it to our developers, it can be useful for future improvements.

If it shows any sensitive details, you can mark the reply as PRIVATE for safety, then only we can see it.

Thank you.

Hi Alex,

Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

I am passing it to our developers and QA Team just for testing, I am sure it will be useful for possible future improvements of our Master Details.

In the meantime, our developers launched a new Page on our documentation for developers with some useful informations and tips such as some custom CSS selectors, JS advice and advice how to make custom add-ons for our Plugin, etc.

They will keep adding more custom hook examples over time, for now this is just a start.

I can see you probably don't need this since you made this custom add-on, but in case if some details could be useful for future projects, here is the main starting page for developers here;

and here is the one about creating a custom add-on, in case if there might be some new details you haven't found yet.

If you already found all this, in that case, my apologies.

Thanks again for sharing the add-on with us and with other users.
