Post Author Meta Link

Support
#1

Hi there,

Is there any way to get a specific author to link to the about page in the meta data that’s placed in the beginning of every post?

I’ve seen support provide similar instructions, but not for the stack I’m using. If it helps, I’m using the integrity stack.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Cameron

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

Please check this post for help. if you want a custom link you can replace the anchor tag link with custom link.

This code is for integrity stack.

Thanks

Thank you, that worked great with one exception: Is there any way to change the link to go to a custom location? For instance, I want to make the link point to the path as indicated in the secure note.

Hi There,

In this case, please change the code to this:

function x_integrity_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( '<span><i class="x-icon-pencil" data-x-icon="&#xf040;"></i> <a href="%s">%s</a></span>',
      'https://naturalife.org/about/',
      get_the_author()
    );


    //
    // Date.
    //

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s"><i class="x-icon-calendar" data-x-icon="&#xf073;"></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 = '';
        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 ) )
                              . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon="&#xf02e;"></i> '
                              . $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 ) )
                            . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon="&#xf02e;"></i> '
                            . $category->name
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%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$s" class="meta-comments"><i class="x-icon-comments" data-x-icon="&#xf086;"></i> %3$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,
        $date,
        $categories_list,
        $comments
      );
    }

}

Hope it helps :slight_smile:

Thank you for the suggestion! But unfortunately it appears the link did not change to the desired location. I cleared the cache to be sure.

Any idea why the suggested code doesn’t update the link?

Hello @Thryvewell,

Thanks for updating the thread. :slight_smile:

It seems that the issue is related with cache. I cleared WP Rocket cache and link is working fine. Please see screencast in secure note.

That being said, please note that providing support for custom codes (like PHP changes) falls outside the scope of support we can offer. In case of any issues with the layout because of custom codes we won’t be able to provide support.

Thanks.

That’s odd! I cleared WP rocket cache and my browser cache several times but it still didnt work. Nonetheless I’m happy it’s working on your end. Thank you so much. You guys rock!
