Post slider: add author in multi-author blog

Hi Enfold-team,

I’m still looking for a solution. If you could tell me which php file is controlling the layout of the post slider, I can probably tweak it myself in a way similar to what I have done for the general post layout through the code above which I added to loop-index.php.

So far, I have not found the right php file for the post slider and the documentation here does not give any specificity on the php file and/or path for the files which define the slider.

My suggestion is still that in a future update you add the option of “multi-author blog” -> “display title & author” AND “display title, author & excerpt” to the drop down menu of the layout setting within the avia layout builder.

Any hints are appreciated very much.
Thank you
Michael

Hi Victoria,
I followed the post you linked to and the secondary post inside there.
I found the relevant reference code in line 898 and added afterwards the following code:

			                    // Author in Post Slider MN BEGIN
          
            $author = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $entry->post_author );
            			$author_link = get_the_author_meta( 'user_url', $entry->post_author );
											
											if(!empty($author))
											 {
													 $meta .= '<div class="slide-meta-del">/</div><span class="blog-author minor-meta">';
													 $meta .= '<a href="'.$author_link.'">'.$author.'</a>';
													 $meta .= '</span>';
											 }
            $meta .= $author;
            
         // Author in Post Slider MN ENDE

I created the relevant php file in my enfold-child subfolder according to the original path, i.e. enfold-child/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider

It does not work, anyway.
Since there are several if-cases in relation to blog style I have moved the code block around. It does not change a thing.
I also tried the code I used to display authors in the masonry (see code in initial post above), without any success.

My blog styling is “elegant” if that helps to define the right position for the code.

Any suggestions on code changes how to display the author underneath the title?
