Masonry entries – add metadata

Hi,

Thank you for the inquiry.

The category and post date are already included in the masonry element, but the author info is not. If you want to include the author name, you can add this filter in the functions.php file.

add_filter("avf_masonry_entry_content", function($content, $entry, $config) {
    $author_name = get_the_author_meta('display_name', $entry["post_author"]);
    $separator = ' ';
    $output = '';

    if ( ! empty( $author_name ) ) {
        $output = '<b><em>' . esc_html( $author_name ) . '</em></b>';
        $content = $output . $content;
    } 

    return $content;
}, 10, 3);

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

The post dates and categories should also display below the title when the Content > Captions > Element Title and Excerpt is enabled or when it is set to Display Title and Excerpt. Please check the screenshot in the private field.

Did you create a custom post type? If you did, then you can try this filter in the functions.php file:

add_filter( 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare', 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat', 10, 2 );

function avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat( $key, $entries ) {
    $categories = get_the_category($key['ID']);
    $separator = ' ';
    $output = '
    <div class="masonry-cat">';
    
    if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
        foreach( $categories as $category ) {
            $output .= '<span alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts in %s', 'textdomain' ), $category->name ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</span>' . $separator;
        }
    }
    $output .= '</div>';

    $post_date = get_the_date( '', $key['ID'] );
    $output .= '<div class="masonry-date">' . $post_date . '</div>';

    $author_id = $key['post_author'];
    $author_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $author_id );
    $output .= '<div class="masonry-author">' . $author_name . '</div>';

    $key['text_after'] .= trim( $output, $separator );

    return $key;
}

Best regards,
Ismael
