I’m using Renew and I’d like to include the publish date under the title. I am assuming I add the following:

<?php the_date('Y-m-d', '<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>

in the file _landmark-header.php within the renew folder, correct?

I’ve tried add this line in at around line 51:

          <?php elseif ( is_home() || is_single() ) : ?>
            <?php if ( x_is_portfolio_item() ) : ?>

              <h1 class="h-landmark"><span><?php echo x_get_parent_portfolio_title(); ?></span></h1>

            <?php else : ?>

              <h1 class="h-landmark"><span><?php echo x_get_option( 'x_renew_blog_title' ); ?></span></h1>	
             <?php the_date('Y-m-d', '<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>

            <?php endif; ?>

But this didn’t display the date. Could you tell me what I am doing wrong, please? Example blog post here: http://followtheboat.com/esper-rammed-and-an-american-comes-to-the-rescue/

Hi,

Thanks for writing in!

The date is already included, you can enable post meta under Blog > Content > Post meta in the customizer(Appearance > Customize).

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I’m afraid this does nothing. I just want to add a publish date line under the heading. Which file do I need to change in my child theme?

Thanks

Hi there,

Renew by default display meta information, please check this link: http://theme.co/x/demo/renew/1/5-reasons-you-need-the-x-theme/

Did you enable ‘Post meta’ in customizer and still it doesn’t work? please activate parent theme and let us know if it solves the issue.

Thanks.

[demonboyParticipant]

I don’t want all the meta info, I only want the date. That is is! I just need to know which file to add it to, please.

Hi,

To show just the date, please enable post meta and add this in your child theme’s functions.php file.

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_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_date() )
    );

    //
    // Categories.
    //

    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 ) )
                              . '"> '
                              . $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 ) )
                            . '">'
                            . $category->name

                            . $separator;
      }

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

    //
    // Comments link.
    //

    if ( comments_open() ) {

      $title  = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_title', get_the_title() );
      $link   = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_link', get_comments_link() );
      $number = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_number', get_comments_number() );

      if ( $number == 0 ) {
        $text = __( 'Leave a Comment' , '__x__' );
      } else if ( $number == 1 ) {
        $text = $number . ' ' . __( 'Comment' , '__x__' );
      } else {
        $text = $number . ' ' . __( 'Comments' , '__x__' );
      }

      $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments">%3$s</a></span>',
        esc_url( $link ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
        $text
      );

    } else {

      $comments = '';

    }

    //
    // Output.
    //

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

  }

Hope that helps.

OK, but which file controls the format of a single post? Is it _landmark-header.php?

[demonboyParticipant]

By the way, I have added the code above to my functions file in my child theme. I have turned on the post meta in my customisation but I am still not seeing the date.

All I want to do is add the date under the title. Surely it is just a hook within the WordPress loop, no? I don’t want to be bothered about turning meta data on or off, I just want to customise whatever file it is that controls the layout for a single blog post by inserting the correct hook.

Hello There,

Upon checking your site, the date is displaying underneath your post titles.
http://prntscr.com/986zqs
http://prntscr.com/98700o

To control which file is displaying in the single post title and the date without having to turn on the post meta in the customizer, please follow this steps:
1] Please create a new file in your local machine.
2] Insert the following code into the file:

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/RENEW/_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 the_date('Y-m-d', '<p class="p-meta">', '</p>'); ?>
  <?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 the_title(); ?></a>
  </h2>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php x_renew_entry_meta(); ?>
</header>

3] Save this file named as _content-post-header.php and upload this file to your server in the child theme’s folder wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/renew/

Please make sure that you have turn off the post meta because it will display duplicate dates. Please let us know if this works out for you. Thank you.
