Hope you can help us. We set up a Renew-Child-Theme for our site (http://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/) and were trying to change a few things with the help in this forum but it didn’t work so far.

1. The meta post line should be in German, like this:

17. September 2014 von Philippe Müller

instead of

Philippe Müller / 09.2014 / Allgemein / 1 Comment

2. In the comment (http://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/?p=1841) we would like to change the date too.

02.12.2014 um 14:18 (= Day.Month.Year)

instead of

12.02.2014 at 14:18

3. Where can we translate “One Comment on”? which appears when someone writes a comment.

4. How can we add Facebook and Twitter share buttons at the end of each post?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for writing in!

#1: Add following code in your child theme’s functions.php file:

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

    //
    // 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( 'm.Y' ) )
    );

    //
    // Categories.
    //

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {

#3: If you’re using WPML, you can use WPML string translation to translate the strings. You can review this article for more information: http://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/

#4: Add following in your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'custom_author_code');

function custom_author_code($content) {
   if ( is_singular('post') ) {
      return $content . do_shortcode('[share title="Share this Post" facebook="true" twitter="true" google_plus="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
   } else {
      return $content;
   }
}

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

Thank you for your help. I copied the code you provided in the child theme’s functions.php file. The meta post line looks fine (see https://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/), but the posts can’t be found anymore (404 error), see https://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/?p=1841

Something with the #4 social media share buttons code has to be wrong. Without this code it’s working properly.

Thank you.

For #4

You can create _content-the-content.php file in wp-content/themes/x-child-renew/framework/views/global
and copy the code below into that file.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_CONTENT-THE-CONTENT.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Display of the_content() for various entries.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php do_action( 'x_before_the_content_begin' ); ?>

<div class="entry-content content">

<?php do_action( 'x_after_the_content_begin' ); ?>

  <?php the_content(); 
  if(is_single()):
    echo do_shortcode('[share title="Share this Post" facebook="true" twitter="true" google_plus="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
  endif;  
  ?>
  <?php x_link_pages(); ?>

<?php do_action( 'x_before_the_content_end' ); ?>

</div>

<?php do_action( 'x_after_the_content_end' ); ?>

Hope that helps.

Thank you. I created _content-the-content.php file in wp-content/themes/x-child-renew/framework/views/global But there is still a 404 error showing up when trying to open a post: https://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/?p=1841 (or try here: https://www.ahja.ch/div/mueller/

Hope you can help.
