Thanks

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! Yes there is. And this needs a little tweaking the code of the post meta. Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

At this point, I am not sure which site do you want it to apply. Before we can give you the tweak, we need to figure out which stack you are using because the post meta of the stacks were different from each other.

Meanwhile, you can insert any of the PHP block in your child theme’s functions.php file:

For Ethos:

// Ethos Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_ethos_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_ethos_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( ' %1$s %2$s</span>',
      __( 'by', '__x__' ),
      get_the_author()
    );


    //
    // Date.
    //

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );


    //
    // Output.
    //

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s</p>',
        $author,
        $date
      );
    }

  }
endif;

For Icon:

// Icon Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_icon_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_icon_entry_meta() {

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%s</p>',
        $date
      );
    }

  }
endif;

For Renew:

// Renew Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_renew_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_renew_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
      get_the_author()
    );


    //
    // Date.
    //

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );


    //
    // Output.
    //

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s</p>',
        $author,
        $date
      );
    }

  }
endif;

For Integrity:

// Integrity Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_integrity_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_integrity_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( '<span><i class="x-icon-pencil" data-x-icon-s="&#xf303;"></i> %s</span>',
      get_the_author()
    );


    //
    // Date.
    //

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s"><i class="x-icon-calendar" data-x-icon-s="&#xf073;"></i> %2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );


    //
    // Output.
    //

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s</p>',
        $author,
        $date
      );
    }

  }
endif;

Hope this helps.

Hello There,

A feature request has been added in our enhancement list. An option where you can toggle which one to display in the post meta is a good feature for users just want to display certain information in their post meta.

Thanks.
