Author line on stream child site
5 replies · Started by William on October 9, 2021
Hello -
I am utilizing the stream child site. Could someone help me with how to show an author without the need to install a plug-in?
I have checked the previous topics on the forum related to this and tried the PHP in CSS however it doesn’t seem to be showing up on my site.
Here is an article example from the site:

Thank you in advance for any help.
Hi there,
Where do you want the author to show?
Below the title?
If so you can use headline block with dynamic data:

Hi Leo -
I apologize for the delay in response here.
I am trying to add in an author name and last update date on the white section of the article, just above the breadcrumbs.

Is that possible?
Thank you.
Hi William,
You can create a block element - post meta template, choose hook as element type, choose generate_before_content as hook name, choose post > all postsas location.

Let me know if you need further assistance :)
Thank you, Ying!
No problem :)
