[Resolved] Display post meta in sections

[Tom]

Hmm, so it’s not picking up the author name.

How are you applying this? Manually within Sections? Can you show me a screenshot? I’m just wondering if there’s an alternate route we can use.

Just manually within sections. I have one section that simply contains content and I have the shortcode at the beginning.

So, it goes something like:

[entry_meta]

<h2 class="resources">Hello and welcome!</h2>

[Tom]

Try this instead:

add_shortcode( 'entry_meta', 'tu_entry_meta_shortcode' );
function tu_entry_meta_shortcode() {
    if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_posted_on' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    ob_start();
	$post = get_post();
	setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <div class="entry-meta">
        <?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
    </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
    <?php
    $ret = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $ret;
}

That got it! Thank you!

No problem 🙂
