Hi there,

I’m experiencing an unusual problem. I’m using the ICON stack and although I’ve not altered the meta informations settings for posts and portfolios, my portfolio items are displaying a date stamp but not author, whereas my blog posts are not displaying any meta information.

I would like the following situation:

Blog Posts: Date, author, tags
Portfolio items: No date, no author

Please can you let me know how I can achieve the above?

Many thanks,

Melissa

Hi there,

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Please add this in functions.php file inside child theme :

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

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

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

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

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {
      if ( has_term( '', 'portfolio-category', NULL ) ) {
        $categories        = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'portfolio-category' );
        $separator         = ', ';
        $categories_output = '';
        foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
          $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                              . get_term_link( $category->slug, 'portfolio-category' )
                              . '" title="'
                              . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                              . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark"></i> '
                              . $category->name
                              . '</a>'
                              . $separator;
        }

        $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
          trim( $categories_output, $separator )
        );
      } else {
        $categories_list = '';
      }
    } else {
      $categories        = get_the_category();
      $separator         = ', ';
      $categories_output = '';
      foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
        $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                            . get_category_link( $category->term_id )
                            . '" title="'
                            . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                            . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark"></i> '
                            . $category->name
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
        trim( $categories_output, $separator )
      );
    }

    if ( comments_open() ) {
      $title  = get_the_title();
      $link   = get_comments_link();
      $number = get_comments_number();
      if ( $number == 0 ) {
        $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments"><i class="x-icon-comments"></i> %3$s</a></span>',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          __( 'Leave a Comment' , '__x__' )
        );
      } else if ( $number == 1 ) {
        $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments"><i class="x-icon-comments"></i> %3$s</a></span>',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          $number . ' ' . __( 'Comment' , '__x__' )
        );
      } else {
        $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments"><i class="x-icon-comments"></i> %3$s</a></span>',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          $number . ' ' . __( 'Comments' , '__x__' )
        );
      }
    } else {
      $comments = '';
    }

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s</p>',
        $author,
        $date,
        $categories_list,
        $comments
      );
    }

  }
endif;

To display tags copy _content-post-headerx.php file from framework -> views -> icon and put it in the same path inside child theme, Now replace existing code with this:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ICON/_CONTENT-POST-HEADER.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Standard <header> output for various posts.
// =============================================================================

?>

<header class="entry-header">
  <?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
  <?php else : ?>
    <h2 class="entry-title">
      <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permalink to: "%s"', '__x__' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>"><?php x_the_alternate_title(); ?></a>
    </h2>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php x_icon_entry_meta(); ?>
  <?php if ( has_tag() ) : ?>
  <footer class="entry-footer cf">
    <?php echo get_the_tag_list(); ?>
  </footer>
<?php endif; ?>
  <?php if ( get_post_format() == 'quote' ) : ?>
    <p class="entry-title-sub"><?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_quote_quote', true ); ?></p>
  <?php endif; ?>
</header>

Please add the following CSS under Customize -> Custom -> CSS :`

.single-x-portfolio .p-meta{
display:none;
}

Hope it helps.

Many thanks for your help. I created the child theme (I had one already) and copied the above code into my functions.php file in the x child theme. The portfolio items are now all correct, I can only see the title and no author or date information – great! However, there is also no meta information showing for blog posts – I would like to see date and author here if possible…

Regards,

Melissa

Hi there,

I think I mentioned in a previous post that I am developing offline, so don’t have an URL or credentials I can send you, but happy to send you the code. Here is my functions.php file:

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in.

Please check Appearance > Customize > Blog > Post Meta if it is enabled. If not, please enable it.

Thanks.

[avrlondonParticipant]

Yes that was the issue – very straightforward. Thanks for your help!
How do I alter the functions.php code if I now want to display only the date and author using the “|” separator? (NO tags and NO icons)

Is there a global setting to turn off icons through the site?

Many thanks,

Melissa

Hi Melissa,

In the meantime, to disable the post icons, you can use following CSS under Custom > CSS in the Customizer:

.entry-title:before {
    display: none;
}
