[Resolved] How to place the post date above the post header

[Peter Islin Nielsen]

Hi Tom,

Is there a way to place the post date above the post header without editing the PHP files? It should be on both the blog page and on the post pages itself. I hope it makes sense 🙂

Thanks!

Hi Peter,

Without using PHP it’s not possible – even with it’s kind of difficult (but possible).

I see the need/want to do something like this, so I’ll look into making an adjustment that makes it easier 🙂

Hi Tom,

OK, thanks. It’s not a biggie, so for now I’ll just try to pursuade the designer to keep it as it is 🙂

I’ll update this post when I have something figured out 🙂

In 1.3.29 you’ll be able to do this:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'generate_move_post_meta' );
function generate_move_post_meta()
{
    remove_action( 'generate_after_entry_title', 'generate_post_meta' );
    add_action( 'generate_before_entry_title', 'generate_post_meta' );
}

To avoid making a new thread I’m hoping maybe to find help here as I am trying to do something similar. I’m looking to move the post date above the post header but only on the single article page. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi there,

What about the other post meta like the author? Also above the title, or still below?
