Display category meta next to date
5 replies · Started by Emma on December 14, 2018
Hi, I would like to know how to display the category meta next to the date on my blog posts (exactly like it is on the blog page of your Aspire template). I can't find any setting anywhere to display it like this. I can see in previous support topics that there is code you can add to move the category meta below the title, but I can't see any way to display it next to the date like this. Is there a simple setting to do this or does it require coding?
Hi Emma,
Give this function a shot:
add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $date ) {
echo $date;
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( ', ' );
if ( $categories_list ) {
echo '<span class="categories">' . $categories_list . '</span>';
}
} );Then you can add some space around it like this:
.entry-meta .categories {
padding: 0 10px;
}Let me know if that helps or not :)
Thank you, it's almost perfect, it's just missing the line between the date and the category. Also, I only want this on the posts on the blog page and not the single post. (exactly how it is on the Aspire template). Thanks :)
Try changing your function to this:
add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $date ) {
if ( is_singular() ) {
return $date;
}
echo $date;
$categories_list = get_the_category_list( ', ' );
if ( $categories_list ) {
echo ' | <span class="categories">' . $categories_list . '</span>';
}
} );Let me know :)
That's sorted it, thanks!
Awesome, glad I could help :)
