Hi team,

Firstly – you’re all great, great theme, great extensions.

Real quick, I would like to change the post meta as efficiently as possible. If it means adding some php files in my x-child to replace some parent theme php files – that’s fine. If it’s just adding code in the functions.php in my child – that’s cool too.

I would like my post meta to read like this: Written by [Author] in [Post category] | AUGUST 12, 2016

Thanks!

Hi Ollie,

Thank you for providing your site url.

You can add this in your child theme’s functions.php

function x_renew_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( 'Written by <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
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>in %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() );

	  
	  $text = ( 0 === $number ) ? 'Leave a Comment' : sprintf( _n( '%s Comment', '%s Comments', $number, '__x__' ), $number );

	  $comments = sprintf( '<span>| <a href="%1$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">%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s</p>',
        $author,        
        $categories_list,
        $date,
        $comments
      );
    }

  }

Then add this in Custom > Edit Global Css

.p-meta>span:after {
    display:none;
}

Hope that helps.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply. It has sort of worked. The separators look a bit strange see below:

Hi there,

Please try this code:

function x_renew_entry_meta() {

    //

    $author = sprintf( 'Written by <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( 'F j, Y' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_date() )
    );

    //
    // Categories.
    //

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {
      if ( has_term( '', 'portfolio-category', NULL ) ) {
