Blog Posts Element not showing Date meta on first (top) displayed post

Hi,
Thanks for the links, it looks like an error with your plugin “wpfc-minified” Please disable your cache and minifying plugins and also your Enfold Theme Options > Performance > JS & CSS file merging and compression then please clear your browser cache and check.
This can occur when you are using theme caching and minifying plus other caching and minifying.
Please see the screenshots in Private Content area.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback and disabling your wpfc-minified, this has helped as it now shows you are having a jQuery error. Please check the setting Enfold Theme Options > Performance > Load jQuery in footer, if this is checked please uncheck it.
If this doesn’t help, please include an admin login in the private content area so we can be of more assistance.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the login, I found that a custom script in your child theme functions.php is causing the error:

//-------------------------
// JS - Meta after title
// ------------------------

function metaAfterTitle(){
?>
 <script>
 jQuery(".template-blog .post-entry").each(function(i) {
        var postTitle = jQuery(this).find('.blog-categories.minor-meta');
        var metaInfo =  jQuery(this).find('.post-meta-infos');
        jQuery(metaInfo).insertAfter(postTitle);
       });
 </script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'metaAfterTitle');

I re-enabled, but please disable and clear your browser cache and check.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
It looks like you are using the Advanced Layout Builder to create your blog posts, this doesn’t add the post meta.
You can use the shortcode [sc_post_meta] to add it, after you add this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

function post_meta_shortcode(){
  ob_start();
   $taxonomies  = get_object_taxonomies(get_post_type($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>';
      }

  echo "<span class='post-meta-infos' style='margin-top: -25px;'>";
  $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>";
      }

      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' );

some css may be necessary to adjust.
If you are not using the Advanced Layout Builder, you will need to use the blog style Elegant or Default, Modern Business doesn’t show the post meta at the top.

Hi,
I tested this code on my site before posting it to ensure it still worked, and I looked at your functions.php and tested the shortcode on a post of yours and it worked.
Please check again.

Hi,
You could use css display:none or you could use this function instead:

function post_meta_shortcode(){
  ob_start();
  echo "<span class='post-meta-infos' style='margin-top: -25px;'>";
  $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>';
  return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'sc_post_meta', 'post_meta_shortcode' );
