[Resolved] Move Author, Date to the bottom – after content.

[Ramesh Srinivasan]

Is there a way to move the author and date meta to the bottom of the post, after content and just before Categories/Tags section? I only found a way to hide Date/author at the top, from a previous thread here, but no idea how to show it at the bottom. I have GP Premium, and I guess I need to use Hooks?

Hi there,

Give this function a try: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/cf95fae85d5e7773d97a

Adding PHP: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/adding-php-functions/

You’ll also want to add this CSS:

.entry-header.entry-meta {
    display: none;
}

Hi,
Added Simple PHP Plugin, but when I go to Appearance -> Simple PHP, I get this error:

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Looks like I need to change the CHMOD somewhere. If so, where?

Thanks,

[Tom]

Hmm, I’ll have to check the code of the plugin – I’m on a laptop at the hospital still.

Can you try this plugin instead?: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Let me know 🙂

Perfect! Code snippets works fine. 🙂
Thanks Tom.

You’re welcome 🙂

Hi Tom,

I used the php function and it worked fine.

But, now there is a white line where the author and date used to be.

The css seems not to work.

Here is an example: http://eersdiekoninkryk.co.za/lei-my-elke-dag/

Thanks,

Hi Jan,

Not seeing a white line – any chance you can show me a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

Sorry Tom,

To fix it I used a negative margin of 34. I removed the negative margin so you can quickly look. If that is the only solution it is fine.

[Tom]

It might be better to change the single post header position in “Customize > Layout > Page Header” to “Above Content Area”.

Hello Tom,

I have added the PHP to my site using the Code Snippet plugin

I have Auther >> Show and Date >> Show

No change!

You can see here on a post page

Hi Tim,

I could be wrong but I think beaver builder has taken over the style/layout of that content section. Therefore I’m not sure if the code would work. I’ll ask Tom to confirm.

Hello Leo, thanks for looking

I have not altered the Comments section with beaver builder, though I have used it to style the post section above the comments section

[Tom]

The author and date on that page isn’t added by GeneratePress, it looks like it’s actually been typed directly into a beaver builder text module as Leo said.

[Tim]

Hello,

Yes, I did type it into a beaver builder text module but that is not the issue.

The PHP code I added did not move Author, Date to the bottom – after content, do you think beaver builder is interfering with the PHP code as Leo suggested?
