(Date) by (Author) – (Categories) in line

Hi there,

that is a really old topic. Maybe this example would be a better place to start:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/entry-meta-style/#example-1

Thanks David, when I use variant 1, I don't see the categories in that row and the date at the end, would it be possible to do it as I request?

Date - author - category

And I have one more question. Please, as I turn off the display of categories in the next section - for example, below the image in the archive, it will be enough for me to have everything once using a line, thanks a lot.

Try this:

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        // Set meta for single post
        $items = array(
            'date',
            'author',
            'categories',
        );
    } else {
        // Set meta for archives
        $items = array(
            'date',
            'author',
        );
    }
    return $items;
} );

This will set the Meta - Date|Author|Categories for single posts and Date|Author on archives.

Ok, thats good, but how can I remove default location "category"? Now I have it on the web 2x.

You can add this snippet to remove the Categories from the footer meta:

add_filter( 'generate_footer_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    return array_diff( $items, [ 'categories' ] );
} );

Thanks David, now "archive" is ok, but "single post" has no meta tags, I use this procedure https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/move-author-date-to-the-bottom-after-content / page / 2 / so it is possible that there is a problem. If I turn it on above, it's fine, but I'd like to have the date of the author, etc. at the end of the post, thanks a lot.

Just to be clear.
On the Archive the current layout is correct.
On Single Post you wish to move all the entry meta - Date|Author|Categories to the Footer ?

exactly

Hi there,

Isn't the default for archives "date by author"? Then you can disable the categories by going to Customize > Layout > Blog and un-checking the categories option for single posts.

Then, you should just be able to target single posts like this without the need for any other functions:

add_filter( 'generate_footer_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        $items = array(
            'date',
            'author',
            'categories',
            'post-navigation',
        );
    }

    return $items;
} );

Now is everything very nice bautiful :) thanks

You're welcome :)
