    Hey smiollis,

    So instead of the category you want to see the the author displayed instead?

    Hi,

    You can check here
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/loading-shortcode-templates-from-child-theme/

    on how to load the shrotcode form the child theme. When you do that, you can replace then on the element the_author() from get_the_category()

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response but it didn’t work at this time :

    I Modified the functions.php file of my child theme to add : 

    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;
}

    created the directory shortcode and copy postlider.php in it

    but i can’t find the “get_the_category”
    please notice that i’m in modern business blog layout

    if(!empty($cats))
    {
    $meta_out .= ‘<span class=”blog-categories minor-meta”>’;
    $meta_out .= $cats;
    $meta_out .= ‘</span>’;

    Hi,

    $meta_out .= $cats;

    Replace the line with the following code.

    $meta_out .= get_the_author_meta( 'display_name' );

    Best regards,
