Post meta information not appearing on single post in restaurant theme in Enfold

Gotta say, Kdagnall is right. What makes Enfold theme is its ALB. Not having something as standard as the author meta seems short-sighted. Even if this feature cost extra, it would be worth it to many of us. (And, yes, I’ve already gone and voted for this feature.)

Thanks Ismael, I’ll give it a try. Kudos to you, you’re the only moderator on this forum who has taken this request seriously. I was so frustrated dealing with this Elliot guy I was ready to dump Enfold for 10+ upcoming projects.

Works great, I am able to create an AVE template that will allow my clients to revert to a similar format for Posts using Advanced Layouts. I made a simple change to display the Post Tags:

<?php
/**
 * Meta Element
 * Adds meta info to the page
 */
 
// Don't load directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') ) { die('-1'); }
 
 
 
if ( !class_exists( 'avia_post_meta_info' ) )
{
        class avia_post_meta_info extends aviaShortcodeTemplate{
