 * Hi,
 * I’m wondering that nobody asked this question before or that I didn’t find it:
 * I’d like to have a Subheading by default if none is written.
 * I imagine something like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( !is_front_page() && (function_exists('the_subheading')) && ( !is_empty('subheading')) ) { the_subheading('<h2>', '</h2>'); }
       else { ?> <h2>default Subheading</h2>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * Is there any possibility?

 * Hi,
 * This is possible using something similar to the following:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (!is_front_page() && function_exists('the_subheading')) {
       	$subheading = the_subheading('', '', false);
       	if (!empty($subheading)) {
       		the_subheading('<h2>', '</h2>');
       	} else {
       		?><h2>Default Sub Heading</h2><?php
       	}
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You could have used the `get_the_subheading` function, but I spotted a bug with
   that!
 * Hope this helps 🙂
