Is possible to show a custom information?

Hi!
I am editor of a magazine, so many articles are published in a print magazine. I was wondering if is possible to show custom information based on, for example, a tag. I am thinking in something like this: https://www.historytoday.com/archive/behind-times/trust-change
They show, near author, the issue of publication. I don't know if this is possible in your theme. I know that maybe it needs some development, but I'm sure you could give me some clues.
Best!
Hi there,
the simplest method is to use Hooks.
Either action hooks that you can access via code or the Hook Element to inject your custom field data:
https://docs.generatepress.com/?s=hook+element
Or Filter hooks that can be used to 'change or add to' existing theme elements such as the post meta. Which would allow you add custom field date inline to say the Date Meta or Author byline.
How will you be adding the custom fields ? Maybe the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
Happy to help with either method.
