Hi there,

I’m building a site offline (using MAMP), and have a problem relating to Authors.

Using ICON and the masonry blog post page, I’d like to show the Author along with date. I’ve managed this by adding the following to my child theme functions.php:

// 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 ( 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;

How ever, what I’m after is the author being clickable, and showing a page with all of their posts, e.g. it would take me to: http://localhost:8888/author/peter-david-grant/ when clicked.

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Rupok,

Thank you for the reply.

I checked out those two links, but the code doesn’t seem to work, and it removes the author that I managed to get displayed. See attached image.

Thanks again!

oops. sorry I’ve attached basically the same image twice! Sorry. The second was meant to be a blog post view.

Hi Christopher,

Unfortunately my site is only local at the moment, waiting for someone else to set me up with the hosting package. I’ll update this support page after it’s online with the details.

Thanks,
Peter

Ok then Peter. We will get back to you once we have those details so we can check further.

Hi There,

Please update your code to this:

function x_icon_entry_meta() {

	global $post;
	$author = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s"><span><i class="x-icon-pencil"></i> %2$s</span></a>',
		get_author_posts_url( $post->post_author ),
		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 ( 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
	  );
	}

}

Hope it helps 🙂
