Hi, there. I’m trying to add ‘reviewed by’ feature next to my written by meta in my generatepress theme Builder options. I'd like it to be a dynamic feature just like the other GP dynamic features you guys have available.
I was wondering how to create one (especially that I'm a total noob and have no coding experience).

I’ve attached an example of the feature I’d like to add with this email

Thanks
Alladdine

Hi Allaeddine,

You can try to use the WP built-in custom field:

If you don't see the custom field options, try follow the guide in this article:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-custom-fields-not-showing-in-wordpress/

Once the custom field appears in your post editor, create a new field, eg. co-author, the value would be the name of the co-author, and another field co-author-avatar to store the avatar image URL.

Then you can make your block element dynamic by calling the post meta: co-author and co-author-avatar:
