[Resolved] Change text (author and date) under blog titles

[thomas]

Hello,
Do you know a snippets to change date and author text?
actually I have date “by” author, I would like : “publié le” date “par” author
Does it makes sense ?

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

Is this is more like a translation?

Have you considered using a translator plugin like Polylang or WPML?

Let me know if I’m missing something 🙂

On this page : http://www.ageca.org/category/blog/
Under titles I have “15 octobre 2018 de Georges mr” (date by author)
I want to change it with another text : “published the ‘date’ by ‘author'”
I don’t want a translation, I want to add text before and after the date.

Try this CSS:

.posted-on .published:before {
    content: "Published ";
}

Let me know 🙂

It works perfectly for the text before the date, thanks!
I’d also like to change the text just before the author name : “by” with something else like “published by ”
Thanks for your help!

Little tougher but this PHP snippet should work:

add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_remove_by_byline' );
function tu_remove_by_byline() {
	printf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <a class="url fn n" href="%2$s" title="%3$s" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></a></span>',
					__( 'Publish by', 'generatepress' ),
			esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
			/* translators: 1: Author name */
			esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
			esc_html( get_the_author() )
		)
	);
}
