    I want to add the author name in addition to the category and date to my blog posts. I have tried going into the enfold blog section and checking Author but it is still not appearing. Any ideas?

    Hi cobaltsapphire,

    You can add it by modifying code in wp-content > themes > enfold > config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes > postslider > postslider.php (find this code, line 890 in Enfold 4.7.6.4):

    $meta .= "<time class='slide-meta-time updated' $markup>" . get_the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ), $the_id ) . '</time>';

    below it add this code:

    $meta .= '<div class="slide-meta-del">/</div>';
$meta .= '<div class="slide-meta-author">' . get_the_author_posts_link() . '</div>';

    Hope it helps.

    Best regards,
    Nikko

    Hi Nikko,

    When I go to “Appearance” > “Customize” it is giving me a “Fatal Error” message. I believe I need to go there to edit php correct?

    If you have any knowledge on this it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Hi cobaltsapphire,

    I see you’re still using Enfold 4.7.5, please update it to the latest version (4.8.1) to fix it, don’t forget to backup your site first before updating.
    Also, you’ll need to go to Appearance > Theme Editor in order to modify existing theme files or you can do it via FTP.

    Best regards,
    Nikko

    Hi Nikko, I was able to do all that however when I go to the blog, the author is “cs” which is the administrator but not the author of the post (author is supposed to be Randa Hoffman) who wrote it using her login.
    Thank you for your help so far!

    Hi cobaltsapphire,

    You’re welcome :)
    You can easily change the Author, you may need to click on the Screen Options on the upper right portion of the page first, then check Author.
    It should show an option to replace the Author of the post.
    You can check on this article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-change-the-author-of-a-post-in-wordpress/
    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,

    Are the changes here not going to get overwritten when you update the theme? The instructions are to modify a core theme file?

    Hi integritive,

    You can use a child theme and make sure to add this code on it’s functions.php file (source: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/intro-to-layout-builder/#add-elements-to-alb )

    add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

  return $paths;
}

    Then copy postslider folder from wp-content > themes > enfold > config-templatebuilder > avia-shortcodes folder to wp-content > themes > enfold-child > shortcodes and then do the changes on the code I mentioned.

    Best regards,
    Nikko
