I have created a CPT with ACF and relative custom fields. Then I show the posts in specific pages with the avia element Blog Post. When choosing the style “Simple List”, I would like to show a couple of psot custom fields instead of Author and Date.

I am not sure which filter I should use in functions.php to do it, or if I should modify a copy of some enfold file in my child theme. I tried to modify the loop-index.php but no changes are reflected in the front-end

Thanks

Hey Elena,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You can this in the includes > loop-index.php file around line 471:

echo '<span class="post-meta-infos">';

Create a copy in your child theme, then do the modifications. You can also use the avf_post_metadata_array filter.

Example:

add_filter('avf_post_metadata_array', function($meta, $context) {
    global $post;

    if($context == 'loop-index') {
        $updated_date = get_the_modified_date('F j, Y', $post->ID); 
        $meta['updated_date'] = '<span class="blog-updated-date minor-meta">Updated on: ' . $updated_date . '</span>';
    }

    return $meta;
}, 10, 2);

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi Ismael I tried to modify the loop-index.php, by creating a copy in my child theme.

I added these few lines

		if( $blog_style !== 'bloglist-compact' )
				{
					echo '<span class="post-meta-infos">';

						$meta_info = array();

						/**
						 * @since 4.8.8
						 * @param string $hide_meta_only
						 * @param string $context
						 * @return string
						 */
						$meta_separator = apply_filters( 'avf_post_metadata_seperator', '<span class="text-sep">/</span>', 'loop-index' );

						/***MODIFICATION  */
						if(get_post_type() == 'project') {
							
							$meta_acf = '<span class="meta_acf">';
							$custom_field_1 = get_field('project_start_date');
							$custom_field_2 = get_field('tethys_role');

							if (!empty($custom_field_1)) {
								$meta_acf .= '<span class="meta-info custom-meta"><strong>Field 1:</strong> ' . esc_html($custom_field_1) . '</span>';
							}

							if (!empty($custom_field_2)) {
								$meta_acf .= '<span class="meta-info custom-meta"><strong>Field 2:</strong> ' . esc_html($custom_field_2) . '</span>';
							}
							$meta_acf .= '</span>';

							$meta_info['acf'] = $meta_acf;

						}
						
						/**END MODIFICATION */

I am working with a CPT named ‘project’. From the theme options I deselected the visualization of author and post date, since I am not interested in those meta info. Then I added the lines above in the loop-index.php just after the line
echo '<span class="post-meta-infos">';
but I don’t see anything.
