Editing the entry meta output

Hi there,

Try this, instead:

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    $items[] = 'comments-link';

    return $items;
} );

Let me know :)

Still the same :(

Hi Tom,
I changed the snippet to that code, but that it seems to eliminate the comment link altogether.

Is the comments count option enabled in Customize > Layout > Blog?

No, it wasn't. I enabled it and the comment link now works now.
I thought that was just to show the link on archives which I'm not sure I want, but I can live with.
Thanks for the help Tom :)

You could try this:

body:not(.single) .comments-link {
    display: none;
}

Hey Tom
That worked, thanks so much!

You're welcome :)

Hi Tom

The code to show a comment link seems to have stopped working, here's what I have in place.

Snippet

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
    $items[] = 'comments-link';

    return $items;
} );

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $output, $time_string ) {
	printf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span> ',
		$time_string
	);
}, 10, 2 );

CSS

.single .comments-link {
    display: inline-block;
}

.posted-on .updated {
    display: inline-block;
}

.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
    display: none;
}

.posted-on .updated:before {
	  content: "Last Updated: ";
}

body:not(.single) .comments-link {
    display: none;
}

Any chance you can link us to the page/post in question?

The link in the original topic is no longer working.

Let me know :)

Hi Leo, here's a link

Hi there,

Try adding this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_single() ) {
        add_filter( 'generate_show_comments', '__return_true' );
    }
} );

Hi Tom
That worked, thanks!
Any idea how to style it to separate it from the author's name, perhaps with a verticle bar before?

Hi there,

add this CSS:

.entry-meta .comments-link:before {
    content: '| ';
}
