[Resolved] Post title and meta above sidebar

[George]

Is there a way to achieve that without using a header element? I don’t have great control over the title paddings using the header element (I also use a custom width for the single post page) plus I don’t want to lose the customizations I did on the meta.

Hi George,

Would this help?

[George]

Yeah, I’ve tried that, all it does is duplicates the title but doesn’t take it out of the container. And I also have the post meta.

[Leo]

Does this one work better?

It would be much easier with GPP 2.0 😉

[George]

Ok, that worked exactly like the header element. I would have to adjust the width with CSS. But what about the post meta underneath?

I am using this example for the meta:

[Leo]

Does it work if you replace generate_after_entry_title with generate_after_header in the entry meta code?

Just switching a hook.

[George]

generate_after_header is the one used. generate_after_entry_title just swaps meta and title position but keeps it inside the container.

[George]

Oh, you mean the post meta hook maybe? Switching the hook puts the meta over the title and loses the styling.

I just tried this function:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( is_page() || is_single() ) {
        add_filter( 'generate_show_title', '__return_false' );
    }
} );
add_action( 'generate_after_header', function() {
    if ( is_page() || is_single() ) :
        ?>
            <div class="header-entry-title grid-container grid-parent">
                <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
            </div>
            <div class="grid-container grid-parent entry-meta">
			    <?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
		    </div>
        <?php
    endif;
} );
add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', '__return_empty_array' );

add_action( 'generate_after_header', function() {
    $header_post_types = apply_filters(
		'generate_entry_meta_post_types',
		array(
			'post',
		)
    );

    if ( ! in_array( get_post_type(), $header_post_types ) ) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
        <div class="entry-meta entry-meta-container grid-container">
            <div class="entry-meta-gravatar">
                <?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ); ?>
            </div>

            <div class="entry-meta-info">
                <div class="entry-meta-author">
                    <?php generate_do_post_meta_item( 'author' ); ?> in <?php generate_do_post_meta_item( 'categories' ); ?>
                </div>

                <div class="entry-meta-date">
                    <?php generate_do_post_meta_item( 'date' ); ?>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    <?php
} );

And this is the result:

Looks like it’s just missing the CSS styling.

If this still doesn’t work, any chance we can revisit the issue once GP 2.0 is live?

We really can’t be providing a custom/outdated solution like this at this point.

Thanks for your understanding.

[George]

Ok, better, it lost the author gravatar (displays default one) and author name, though.

[George]

Ok, sure. This is not outdated solution, though, this is how GP is right now! GP 2.0 is still alpha.

[Leo]

it lost the author gravatar (displays default one) and author name, though

Not sure if I understand. Is this the result you are getting?

Could we please revisit this issue once we can use the GP 2.0? We put in a lot of work for the dynamic content to avoid providing custom solution like this.

Thanks for your understanding.

[George]

I have to say, it’s the only time I am not happy with support. I understand what you are saying but I think you should have provided support for existing features. The upcoming version is still alpha. I have a client handover in two days.

You know how much I respect you and all the GP crew but in this instance, I think it was wrong to refuse support like this. I hope you take it as constructive feedback.

[Leo]

So what isn’t working for you?

I added my code above with the CSS from the example doc page and this is the result:

Is this not what you are getting?

[George]

I am adding the same code as you do but I get the result attached. Basically, I lose the normal avatar image (default icon is displayed) and the Author name.
