[Resolved] Adding author to pages

[gedosan]

Hi – was wondering if there’s a way to add the author byline to pages rather than just posts?

I tried adding {{post_author}} as a GP hook but it didn’t work. Just want it to appear below the page title.

Thanks

Hi there,

Give this function a shot:

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_header', 'tu_page_meta' );
function tu_page_meta() {
	if ( 'page' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
		<div class="entry-meta">
			<?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
	<?php endif;
}

Let me know 🙂

Cheers. Added it as a GP hook but didn’t work. So tried it as a snippet, still no joy. Am i doing something wrong?!

Cheers

Snippet is the right way to do it.

I just tweaked the code above so it should work now 🙂

Cheers, it’s cool (and working) but it’s appearing on some page (e.g. the homepage) where I don’t want it to. Is there an easy way to exclude certain pages?

Thanks

You could do this:

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_header', 'tu_page_meta' );
function tu_page_meta() {
	if ( 'page' == get_post_type() && ! is_page( array( 10, 15, 20 ) ) ) : ?>
		<div class="entry-meta">
			<?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
	<?php endif;
}

10, 15 and 20 being the IDs of the pages you want to exclude.
