I have read the thread before this post, it is old Enfold, and can’t find the code as that thread said.

Please give me a answer base on Enfold 4.5.

That thread said: Edit the config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider.php file, look for this code around line 498:
$meta .= “<time class=’slide-meta-time updated’ $markup>” .get_the_time(get_option(‘date_format’), $the_id).”</time>”;

But I can’t find the code in postslider.php in Enfold 4.5

Hi yundian,

We strongly recommend updating the theme to the latest versions and then making your changes in the child theme.

If you need further assistance please let us know.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Did you add an excerpt to the post? It is possible that the author meta or the post meta info don’t display because the post has no excerpt or summary. The time info is located around line 898:
```
$meta .= "<time class='slide-meta-time updated' $markup>" . get_the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $the_id ) . '</time>';
```

Yes, I have open the function of Enfold in Blog layout to show the author, and all posts have excerpt.

I added the code:

$author = get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, $entry->post_author );

below the code:

$meta .= “<time class=’slide-meta-time updated’ $markup>” .get_the_time(get_option(‘date_format’), $the_id).”</time>”;

I didn’t change any original code of latest Enfold, but above code didn’t work, author still not display in blog grid layout

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

To actually render the value of the $author, we have to add this code below it.
```
$meta .= "" .$author."";
```

Hi yundian,

I added the code:

and the author name showed up

Please copy the code from here:
```
	$author = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $entry->post_author );
	$meta .= "" . $author."";
```
Please pay attention to the quotes, they should be like this:
```
'
```
not what you have above
```
‘
```
Best regards,
Victoria

I need to show the authors instead of the dates in the blog grid on my client’s site: https://newissue.wpengine.com/weekly-content/blog/, and I got this to work for me by replacing the time lines on 927-928 with:
```
$author = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $entry->post_author );
$meta .= "" . $author."";
```
So, thank you, but is there any way this could be handled via the child theme?

Hi,
if you made the change to config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider > postslider.php
then create a directory in your child theme shortcodes and copy your edited file there: postslider > postslider.php
and ensure your child theme functions.php has this function
```
function avia_include_shortcode_template( $paths )
{
	if( ! is_array( $paths ) )
	{
		$paths = array();
	}
	
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
	array_unshift( $paths, $template_url . '/shortcodes/' );

	return $paths;
}

add_filter( 'avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1 );
```
per our documentation

Mike

Thanks, Mike, but putting the whole edited file in the child theme doesn’t seem like such a great solution, to me — I wouldn’t want to miss out on other updates to that file, as the theme is updated — know what I mean?

Hi,

I am afraid it is currently only possible by modifying postslider.php file on your child theme. I have forwarded your request to our devs and asked if we could add a filter or option in upcoming versions and shared this thread as reference. We will update you here :)

Hi,

Our devs added “avf_post_slider_meta_content” filter and it will be available in upcoming version :)

Awesome! So, when the next version is released, I should look for the filter somewhere around here? https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/blog-post/#post-with-meta-data-below-title — is that the best way to find the new filter?

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply!

I just added a snippet here – https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/blob/master/actions%20and%20filters/ALB%20Elements/Blog%20Posts/avf_post_slider_meta_content.php so you can simply copy & paste it to the bottom of functions.php file of your child theme.

If you would like to give it a try, please replace the content of /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider/postslider.php file with – https://pastebin.com/tu8WN6z0 :)

Best regards,
Yigit

Beautiful, Yigit — it works — thanks so much!! Now, any chance there might be something like that coming for the Magazine element? I just need to move the author line below the titles there (see https://prnt.sc/20xu1cl ). Thanks again!!

Hey,

You are welcome!

I have forwarded this request to our devs as well and shared this thread as reference. We will update you here :)

As a temporary solution, you can copy magazine.php file to your child theme and find following line
```
			$output .=			"<time class='av-magazine-time updated' {$markupTime}>".$time."</time>";
			$output .=			$author;
			$output .=			$cats;
			$output .=			$tags;
			$output .=			"<{$titleTag} class='av-magazine-title entry-title {$titleCss}' {$markupTitle}>{$title}</{$titleTag}>";
```
and change it to following
```
			$output .=			"<{$titleTag} class='av-magazine-title entry-title {$titleCss}' {$markupTitle}>{$title}</{$titleTag}>";
			$output .=			"<time class='av-magazine-time updated' {$markupTime}>".$time."</time>";
			$output .=			$author;
			$output .=			$cats;
			$output .=			$tags;
```
Best regards,

Hey,

Our devs added “avf_magazine_header_content” filter which will be available in upcoming version.

If you would like to try it, please replace /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/magazine/magazine.php file with this one – https://pastebin.com/JWrCeQ1M and then add this code snippet to the bottom of Functions.php file of your child theme – https://github.com/KriesiMedia/enfold-library/blob/master/actions%20and%20filters/ALB%20Elements/Magazine/avf_magazine_header_content.php
