    Hello,

    I would like to add “get free update <link>” to my author byline on blog posts but cannot find the file to modify anywhere.

    Here’s an example of what I’m looking to do…

    http://doubleyourfreelancing.com/.

    I’m currently using the Integrity stack.

    Thank you 🙂

    Hi Jesse,

    Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

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

    
    function x_integrity_entry_meta() {
    
        //
        // Author.
        //
    
        $author = sprintf( '<span><i class="x-icon-pencil"></i> %s</span>',
          get_the_author()
        );
    
        //
        // Date.
        //
    
        $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s"><i class="x-icon-calendar"></i> %2$s</time></span>',
          esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
          esc_html( get_the_date() )
        );
    
        //
        // 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 = '';

    Replace this get free update <link> with your text

    Hope that helps.
