Hello,

Is there a way to add the post date as an element anywhere I prefer in the post page?

I disabled the default post entry header in my posts, however, I am wondering if I could add the post date meta only underneath the Title of my post; which is within a section. Preferably with the calendar icon.

Thank you

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! By default, post meta appear under the title but you have hidden it by adding this code:

header.entry-header {
    display: none;
}

At this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply and sorry for not being clear enough.

I basically disabled the default post meta as I wanted to achieve a specific design, so I had to manually create a section when creating my page for the post details.

For example in the link above, you can see that there is no post meta, however, in my first section I added a custom header and entered the post header. While I can also do the same for the date and enter it manually in every post, I am just wondering if there is a code that would help me achieve this result. So its like adding the post date meta as a raw content (maybe)? I am not sure if it’s possible, but it would be helpful.

I attach an image of how I am aiming the final result to look like.

Thank you

Hi there,

Since you have a different design that wishes to manually input as raw, then your code and content are unique. But, you can convert your content to a shortcode, that way, you can just add the shortcode manually for each post. Would you mind providing the content you wish to add for post meta?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. That sounds like it would solve my problem.

I would like to add the following content: Date, Category and number of comments.

Thanks.

Hi Amir,

You might want to check this plugin that extracts some meta information of a post that you can display using a shortcode.

Hope this helps.
