[Support request] How to change the format of the Entry Meta – Author and Date

[Paul]

Hi There,

I would like to change the Entry Meta format from:

[Date] by [Name]

to

By [Name] | [Date]

Just wondering how to change it.

Thanks so much.

Hi Paul,

Adding this function should do it: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/5f7fd18cb77f13894223a8fe5bd74bc1

Hi there,

Is there meanwhile a more recent workflow for this requirement?

… with the new Post Meta Ordering?

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        'date',
        'author',
        'categories',
    );
} );

Hi there,

yes the new post meta ordering makes this function much easier and is the best way to do it now.

Hi there,

Thank you, but how can I add the seperator in Filter ? 🙂

Date | Author | Category

That would need to done with CSS:

.cat-links, .posted-on {
    border-left: 1px solid #000;
    padding-left: 5px;
}

Thank you. I used this CSS:

.author:before {
    content: " | " !important;
}

That would work too 🙂
