How we can set post meta (Author name | Comment Count | Last Updated Date) ?

Hi there,

Would this be for both blog listing page and single post?

Yes, blog listing page and single post

Hi there,

Add this PHP snippet:

add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function() {
    return array(
        'author',
        'comments-link',
	'date',
    );
} );
add_filter( 'generate_inside_post_meta_item_output', function( $output, $item ) {
    if ( '' === $item ) {
        return '';
    }
    if ( 'comments-link' === $item ) {
        return ' | ';
    }
    if ( 'date' === $item ) {
        return ' | ';
    }

    return $output;
}, 50, 2 );

And this CSS to start:

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

Thanks for help LEO,

I have some question:
1) How we can remove by before author name
2) How we can add vertical bar after comment (see attached image for more details)

3) How we can remove comment count below excerpt in blog listing page (see attached image for more details)

1) Edit the PHP above:

2) How are you adding the last updated date currently? Can you link me to the page in question?

3) You'd need this filter:

Hi LEO
2) How are you adding the last updated date currently? Can you link me to the page in question?
I am using Last modified date using this code:

add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output', function( $output, $time_string ) {
    $time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s" itemprop="datePublished">%2$s</time>';

    if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
        $time_string = '<time class="entry-date updated-date" datetime="%3$s" itemprop="dateModified">Last Updated On %4$s</time>';
    }

    $time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
        esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_date() ),
        esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
        esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
    );

    return sprintf( '<span class="posted-on">%s</span> ',
        $time_string
    );
}, 10, 2 );

how we can show vertical bar before last maodified date.

3) How we can remove meta in blog archive footer.
