[Support request] Customizing display post meta data

[Rovanov]

Hi Generate!
Is it possible to place the” Display post categories ” at the top of the single post directly under post author / post date, and not at the end of the post?

They’re bad to find there, even under the related post with me.

Hi there,

you can use the Post Meta filter to include them in the Entry Meta:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_header_entry_meta_items/

You filter would look something like this:

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        $items = array(
            'date',
            'author',
            'categories',
        );
    } return $items;
} );

If that works we can assist with some CSS to display the categories below the date and author.

Thank you for the quick answer!

Sorry, I’m a beginner.

In what file should I put this in?
Don’t worry, I can try it on my local host. 🙂

Thanks,

Hi there,

That code can be added using one of these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Hello support team!

Okay, that works great, but this way is not very beautiful.

Now I want more. 🙂
(Of course, I am willing to pay for such a personal adjustment.)

How do I get the categories with map-icon above the date and author in a single post?

Thanks & greetings!

Hi there,

so instead of the code provided above, add this:

add_filter( 'generate_category_list_output','lh_remove_categories' );
function lh_remove_categories( $categories ) {
	if ( is_single() ) {
		return '';
	}
}

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_title','lh_single_cats_above_title' );
function lh_single_cats_above_title() {
		$categories_list = get_the_category_list( _x( ', ', 'Used between list items, there is a space after the comma.', 'generatepress' ) );
		if ( $categories_list && is_single() ) {
			printf( '<span class="entry-meta cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">%1$s </span>%2$s</span>',
				_x( 'Categories', 'Used before category names.', 'generatepress' ),
				$categories_list
			);
		}
}

Then add this CSS to include a dashicon before it:

.entry-meta.cat-links:before {
    content: "\f231";
    font-family: "dashicons";
    display: inline;
}

[Rovanov]

Yes!!!!!!!!

Great, wonderful, genius!
I love you!
When are we gonna have a beer? (Amsterdam?)

I’ve change the following.:

content: “\f231”; to: content: “\f07b”;
and
font-family: “dashicons” to: font-family: “GeneratePress”;

Thank you very much!
