[Support request] How to move Author & Date details in Post header

[Luke]

Hi
I have set my “content container to “full width” as this is the only way I can get the header element on my posts to be full bleed to the edge of the screen. I then have the blocks set to contained width, the only trouble is the Author & date section of the post header appears all the way to the left due to the “full width” setting on the post. Is there anyway I can make this inline with the blocks? I would like the meta detail on the posts for SEO purposes so would rather not remove them?

Hi Luke,

as this is the only way I can get the header element on my posts to be full bleed to the edge of the screen.

No, the header element can be set to full width alone, it doesn’t require the page’s content container to be full width.

And can you link me to one of your post so I can see the issue?

Oh you are not using a header element, you built the header within the content area which is not a good practice.

I would recommend:

1. You don’t need that layout element for this layout, you can remove it.

2. You can use a block element – site header to create your custom header.

2-1. Select the container block which contains the custom header, click on the 3 dots icon, click copy.
2-2. Go to appearance > elements, create a new block element, paste the block into the element’s content area.
2-3. Select site header as the element type, select entire site as location.

Hi, thanks
I have made your changes but the Author & Date details in the post header are still showing full width (all they way over on the right, instead of “contained width” with the rest of the content?

Hi there,

quick question, on your single Posts, do you really need them to be Full width if you ignore the header ?
