Hi there.. I am looking for an option to remove the "by" before the Author.. I would like to also bring the author icon and name to the next line below Date Posted On and above Categories..

adjusting post meta..

While this is possible to change in the parent theme in Line 213 by removing %1$s and entering a before the <span class="author%8$s"..............., it doesn't work in the child theme because this line of code is not there in the child theme..

$byline = '%1$s%4$s ';

Pls let me know how this can be achieved..

Hi there,

Try this filter to remove the "by":

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_change_author_by_text' );
function tu_change_author_by_text() {
	printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"> <a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%3$s</span></a></span>',
			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
			esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_author() )
		)
	);
}

To move the author to next line, try this CSS:

.entry-meta .byline {
    display: block;
}

Hi Ying, the function filter worked, but below code didn't work for creating line break..

.entry-meta .byline {
display: block;
}

So I added a in the function itself as below and its working fine now.. Thanks..

//code to eliminate by in the post-meta

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_change_author_by_text' );
function tu_change_author_by_text() {
printf( ' %1$s',
sprintf( ' %3$s',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
)
);
}

Hi there,

I believe this is the aim? https://share.getcloudapp.com/bLukXwqv

If so, try this CSS:

.entry-meta {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.entry-meta > span {
    flex: 1 0 100%;
}

Nope, didn't work.. So reverted my solution..
