Hi there,

Do you have any custom functions added for the meta?

Let me know 🙂

[manaadiar]

Only this thread where i wanted the meta tags were misaligned and Tom gave below code to rectify it, which worked.. This 2nd Comments line came after i reinstalled/restored my DB..

Hi there,

It looks like you’re using a custom function to add the comments link to single posts.

In GP 2.4.0, we added the comments link to single posts by default (but hid it using CSS).

Can you share any custom functions you have on the site? I should be able to point out which one to remove.

Hi Tom, not sure what you mean by custom functions.. Below is the php i have for content-single on the child theme.. Let me know if anything is here..

this is the functions.php file

<?php
/**
 * GeneratePress child theme functions and definitions.
 *
 * Add your custom PHP in this file. 
 * Only edit this file if you have direct access to it on your server (to fix errors if they happen).
 */

function generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts() {
	if ( is_rtl() ) {
		wp_enqueue_style( 'generatepress-rtl', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'rtl.css' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts', 100 );

                                if ( is_single() ) {
                                echo '<span class="comments-link">';
				    comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '1 Comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '% Comments', 'generatepress' ) );

	}

In your generate_post_meta() function, remove this:

if ( is_single() ) {
    echo '<span class="comments-link">';
        comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '1 Comment', 'generatepress' ), __( '% Comments', 'generatepress' ) );
    echo '</span>'; }

That should fix it 🙂
