*I am using the Ethos stack*
I added a few customizations to include the link to the author page in the post meta and this overwrote the Disqus comment information. Instead of showing “1 Comment” it shows “Leave a Comment” and doesn’t allow anyone to leave a comment and instead just adds #respond to the URL

I added this to my child theme functions.php:

// Author Link

  function x_ethos_entry_meta() {

      $author = ' by <a href="'.  get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )) . '">' . get_the_author() . '</a></span>';

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

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {
      if ( has_term( '', 'portfolio-category', NULL ) ) {
        $categories        = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'portfolio-category' );
        $separator         = ', ';

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully, this particular customization request is outside the scope of our support as this is not related to an issue with the theme and instead has to do with your customization of it. As such, you will need to investigate this particular issue on your own or seek help from a developer should you not feel comfortable making these changes yourself. If you have any further questions about the theme, we are more than happy to provide you with assistance on these inquiries.

Thank you for your understanding.

This author link code was from a Themeco support post, so I assumed it would work with the Themeco Disqus plugin: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/adding-authors-name-to-post-as-a-link-to-author-page/

Please advise.

FYI, I think I fixed it using this code. This now shows an author link in the meta and the Disqus comment number + link

// Author Link
