Comment Count

Hi Jatin,

GP Premium 2.0 beta offers a new feature which is dynamic content/image. It needs to be used with Generateblocks as the block editor.

With this new feature, you'll be able to customize your post meta.

In your case, the element type would be the Post meta template.

Some more videos on how to use this feature:

Let me know how it works :)

Is it only available in Generateblocks Pro. Cant you advice how to add using GP Premium ?

I checked this link https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-post-meta-template/ .
This uses a Comment Icon in SVG Code. How can i get the SVG Icon for Number of comments ?

Another Question I have apart from SVG Comment Icon. I have built a block using the guide. You can check on my site. It works fine. However, The issue is it introduced a gap between the block element and content start paragraph (as shown in the Screenshot).

Do you know why this gap has been introduced. I do not want to fix using a CSS as it gets messy in few months time rather than finding why the gap is introduced which can be fixed natively. I hope you understand.

Ok the last issue has been fixed for the gap. Please ignore it.

Still want to know about SVG icon HTML code for comment icon on single post.

Hi there,

you can use this HTML for the GP comment icon:

<svg viewBox="0 0 512 512" aria-hidden="true" role="img" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="1em" height="1em">

Thanks Works fine.

David - How to find the codes for SVG Icons. Now i need a icon code for Date. To show the last updated date icon next to date. Please help.

Best thing to do is to grab them from fontawesome:

https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&p=2&q=date

This doc explains how to get the SVG code:

https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/adding-custom-svg-icons/

Thanks that worked fine. I have created a Block Element for this for Single post which shows comment etc.
However, How can i show the same on my archive page. As of now it only shows the date and post author.

However, How can i show the same on my archive page. As of now it only shows the date and post author.

If you're still using Block Template, make sure you add "All Archive" on its display rule location.

Nothing happened, i added All Archive in the block element. I have also disabled my cache plugin to check.

In your Display rules you need add a Location: Blog as well as the All Archives

Thanks it worked.
