Blog meta elements setting not working

Hey apajo,

Could you post a link to where we can see the problem on your actual site please?

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The meta info such as post date or the author will not display automatically when the advance layout builder is activated. You have to switch to the default editor or create a custom shortcode for the post meta info. An example of that can be found in the following thread.

Hi,
Thank you for the login, Here is how to add the post meta to an Advanced Layout Builder post via shortcode like this:

First add this function to your functions.php:

function post_meta_shortcode(){
	ob_start();
	echo "<span class='post-meta-infos'>";
	$markup = avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'entry_time','echo'=>false));
	echo "<time class='date-container minor-meta updated' $markup>".get_the_time(get_option('date_format'))."</time>";
	echo "<span class='text-sep text-sep-date'>/</span>";

	    if ( get_comments_number() != "0" || comments_open() ){

	    echo "<span class='comment-container minor-meta'>";
	    comments_popup_link(  "0 ".__('Comments','avia_framework'),
	                          "1 ".__('Comment' ,'avia_framework'),
	                          "% ".__('Comments','avia_framework'),'comments-link',
	                          "".__('Comments Disabled','avia_framework'));
	    echo "</span>";
	    echo "<span class='text-sep text-sep-comment'>/</span>";
	    }

	    $taxonomies  = get_object_taxonomies(get_post_type($the_id));
	    $cats = '';
	    $excluded_taxonomies =  apply_filters('avf_exclude_taxonomies', array('post_tag','post_format'), get_post_type($the_id), $the_id);

	    if(!empty($taxonomies))
	    {
	        foreach($taxonomies as $taxonomy)
	        {
	            if(!in_array($taxonomy, $excluded_taxonomies))
	            {
	                $cats .= get_the_term_list($the_id, $taxonomy, '', ', ','').' ';
	            }
	        }
	    }

	    if(!empty($cats))
	    {
	        echo '<span class="blog-categories minor-meta">'.__('in','avia_framework')." ";
	        echo $cats;
	        echo '</span><span class="text-sep text-sep-cat">/</span>';
	    }

	    echo '<span class="blog-author minor-meta">'.__('by','avia_framework')." ";
	    echo '<span class="entry-author-link" '.avia_markup_helper(array('context' => 'author_name','echo'=>false)).'>';
	    echo '<span class="vcard author"><span class="fn">';
	    the_author_posts_link();
	    echo '</span></span>';
	    echo '</span>';
	    echo '</span>';
	echo '</span>';
	return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'sc_post_meta', 'post_meta_shortcode' );

Then add this shortcode into a code block element and add the custom class “meta-shortcode” to the code block element:

[sc_post_meta]

Then add this css into your Enfold Theme Options > General Styling > Quick CSS field:

#top.single-post .post-entry .meta-shortcode .blog-categories {
    display: inline-block !important; 
    top: 0 !important; 
}

I have added this to your site for the post in the Private Content area and it is working, please review.

Best regards,
Mike
