Date stamp and author not displaying on blog post

avrlondon — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 11:29:22 +0000

Hi there,

I’m experiencing an unusual problem. I’m using the ICON stack and although I’ve not altered the meta informations settings for posts and portfolios, my portfolio items are displaying a date stamp but not author, whereas my blog posts are not displaying any meta information.

I would like the following situation:

Blog Posts: Date, author, tags
Portfolio items: No date, no author

Please can you let me know how I can achieve the above?

Many thanks,

Melissa

Hi there,

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.

Please add this in functions.php file inside child theme :

// Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_icon_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_icon_entry_meta() {

   
    $author = sprintf( ' %s',
      get_the_author()
    );

    $date = sprintf( ' %2$s',
      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         = ', ';
        $categories_output = '';
        foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
          $categories_output .= 'name ) )
                              . '"> '
                              . $category->name
                              . ''
                              . $separator;
        }

        $categories_list = sprintf( '%s',
          trim( $categories_output, $separator )
        );
      } else {
        $categories_list = '';
      }
    } else {
      $categories        = get_the_category();
      $separator         = ', ';
      $categories_output = '';
      foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
        $categories_output .= 'name ) )
                            . '"> '
                            . $category->name
                            . ''
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '%s',
        trim( $categories_output, $separator )
      );
    }

    if ( comments_open() ) {
      $title  = get_the_title();
      $link   = get_comments_link();
      $number = get_comments_number();
      if ( $number == 0 ) {
        $comments = sprintf( ' %3$s',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: “%s”', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          __( 'Leave a Comment' , '__x__' )
        );
      } else if ( $number == 1 ) {
        $comments = sprintf( ' %3$s',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: “%s”', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          $number . ' ' . __( 'Comment' , '__x__' )
        );
      } else {
        $comments = sprintf( ' %3$s',
          esc_url( $link ),
          esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: “%s”', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
          $number . ' ' . __( 'Comments' , '__x__' )
        );
      }
    } else {
      $comments = '';
    }

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s',
        $author,
        $date,
        $categories_list,
        $comments
      );
    }

  }
endif;

To display tags copy _content-post-headerx.php file from framework -> views -> icon and put it in the same path inside child theme, Now replace existing code with this:

 output for various posts.
// =============================================================================

?>


  
    
  
    
      ">

Please add the following CSS under Customize -> Custom -> CSS :`

.single-x-portfolio .p-meta{
display:none;
}

Hope it helps.

Many thanks for your help. I created the child theme (I had one already) and copied the above code into my functions.php file in the x child theme. The portfolio items are now all correct, I can only see the title and no author or date information – great! However, there is also no meta information showing for blog posts – I would like to see date and author here if possible…

Regards,

Melissa

Hi there,

I think I mentioned in a previous post that I am developing offline, so don’t have an URL or credentials I can send you, but happy to send you the code. Here is my functions.php file:

// =============================================================================

// FUNCTIONS.PHP

// —————————————————————————–

// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.

// =============================================================================

// Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( ‘x_icon_entry_meta’ ) ) :
function x_icon_entry_meta() {

$author = sprintf( ‘ %s’,
get_the_author()
);

$date = sprintf( ‘ %2$s’,
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 = ‘, ‘;
$categories_output = ”;
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$categories_output .= ‘ . get_term_link( $category->slug, ‘portfolio-category’ )
. ‘” title=”‘
. esc_attr( sprintf( __( “View all posts in: “%s””, ‘__x__’ ), $category->name ) )
. ‘”> ‘
. $category->name
. ‘‘
. $separator;
}

$categories_list = sprintf( ‘%s’,
trim( $categories_output, $separator )
);
} else {
$categories_list = ”;
}
} else {
$categories = get_the_category();
$separator = ‘, ‘;
$categories_output = ”;
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
$categories_output .= ‘ . get_category_link( $category->term_id )

. esc_attr( sprintf( __( “View all posts in: “%s””, ‘__x__’ ), $category->name ) )
. ‘”> ‘
. $category->name
. ‘‘
. $separator;
}

$categories_list = sprintf( ‘%s’,
trim( $categories_output, $separator )
);
}

if ( comments_open() ) {
$title = get_the_title();
$link = get_comments_link();
$number = get_comments_number();
if ( $number == 0 ) {
$comments = sprintf( ‘ %3$s’,
esc_url( $link ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘Leave a comment on: “%s”’, ‘__x__’ ), $title ) ),

} else if ( $number == 1 ) {

$comments = sprintf( ‘ %3$s’,
esc_url( $link ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘Leave a comment on: “%s”’, ‘__x__’ ), $title ) ),
$number . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Comments’ , ‘__x__’ )
);
}
} else {
$comments = ”;
}

if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
return;
} else {
printf( ‘

%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s

’,
$author,
$date,
$categories_list,
$comments
);
}

}
endif;

Yes that was the issue – very straightforward. Thanks for your help!
How do I alter the functions.php code if I now want to display only the date and author using the “|” separator? (NO tags and NO icons)

Is there a global setting to turn off icons through the site?

Many thanks,

Melissa
