P-meta author link integrity

[snyderonlinemarketing]

hello,

I’m trying to add a link to the author name to direct the link traffic to the author page in the post meta for blog articles. I tried using the various techniques described in previous forum topics regarding this (adding code to the functions.php file), but none of them are working.

The site is a Pro theme site with a child theme. Here is the main blog page: https://xyvid.com/webcasting-blog/

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @snyderonlinemarketing,

Regretfully, there is no such option to add the Author link to the Author name on the blog page. I would suggest you go through the following thread on a similar topic.

Blog post meta, clickable author link?

Hi @adaptifyDesigns, It depends on which stack you use. Please go to Pro > Theme Options > Stack and see which stack you use. Then please install the Child Theme if you haven’t yet and add the code below to functions.php file of the Child Theme. The code below assumes that you use the Ethos stack. Get back to us with the URL and the stack that you use in a case that you use another one. if ( ! function_exists( 'x_ethos_entry_meta' ) ) : function x_ethos_entry_meta() { $author = ' by <a…

Convert author name to link

Hi there, That’s possible, and it’s only doable through CSS. Please add this to your global custom CSS. .p-meta>span:after { content: "•"; padding: 0 0.5em 0 0.45em; } Thanks!

Your code for the Integrity stack should look like the following one, please add it into the functions.php of your child theme and check if that works for you.

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_integrity_entry_meta' ) ) :

    function x_integrity_entry_meta() 
    {

        //
        // Author.
        //

        $author = sprintf( '<span><i class="x-icon-pencil" data-x-icon-s="&#xf303;"></i><a href="'.  get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )) . '"> %s</a></span>',
        get_the_author()
        );

        $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s"><i class="x-icon-calendar" data-x-icon-s="&#xf073;"></i> %2$s</time></span>',
