File edits and Child Theme

Hi,

I believe this can be done w/ just filters and hooks instead of creating a post-meta.php.

Something like this:

add_filter('generate_before_footer_content', function(){
    //your author box code here
});

Simply add this code to your child theme's functions.php.

If you want to place it somewhere else, you can replace the hook w/ any hooks found here:

Thanks for a quick reply. Somehow this code:

add_filter('generate_after_entry_content', function() {
  <strong><div class="author-box"></strong>
	<?php global $post; ?>
 
	<div class="avatar"><?php echo get_avatar ( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' )); ?></div>
 
        <div class="author-title" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
	<span itemprop="name"><?php printf( get_the_author_meta( 'display_name') );?></span>
</div>
	
				<div class="author-summary">
	
        <p class="author-description"><?php echo nl2br( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ), null ); ?></p>
    </div>
</div>
});

doesn't want to work.

syntax error, unexpected '<'

for bolded line.

Hi there,

you would need to use a Action Hook like so:

add_action('generate_after_entry_content', function() {
  ?>
  // Your HTML Goes here 
  <?php
});

Or the simpler process is to just add your HTML to the a Hook Element:

Thanks David, now my html works, but it puts author box outside <footer> tag: http://prntscr.com/v59gsv

How can I place it inside <footer>?

There isn't a hook inside there. Instead you would first need to unhook the footer meta:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
      remove_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', 'generate_footer_meta' );
} );

Then Hook back it back in with your own content:

add_action('generate_after_entry_content', function() {
  ?>
  <footer class="entry-meta">
      // Your HTML Goes here 
	<?php generate_entry_meta(); ?>
  </footer>
  
  <?php
});

Brilliant! Working like a charm :)

Thank you for your help!

You're welcome
