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 add this in the includes > loop-index.php file around line 471:
```
echo '';
```
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'] = 'Updated on: ' . $updated_date . '';
 }

 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 '';

						$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', '/', 'loop-index' );

						/***MODIFICATION */
						if(get_post_type() == 'project') {
							
							$meta_acf = '';
							$custom_field_1 = get_field('project_start_date');
							$custom_field_2 = get_field('tethys_role');

							if (!empty($custom_field_1)) {
								$meta_acf .= 'Field 1: ' . esc_html($custom_field_1) . '';
							}

							if (!empty($custom_field_2)) {
								$meta_acf .= 'Field 2: ' . esc_html($custom_field_2) . '';
							}
							$meta_acf .= '';

							$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 '';
but I don’t see anything.

Thanks for helping

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

We may need to inspect the page and access the dashboard to properly check the modification. Please provide the site URL and login details in the private field.

Best regards,

Hi the site is under development on a local folder. I just uploaded a copy of it in a subdirectory. Below the url and the access.

Check the home page: the span.post-meta-infos doesn’t contain the custom fields as set in my functions.php

Thanks

Hi,

You need to place the loop-index.php file inside the “includes” folder. Follow the folder structure: child theme > includes > loop-index.php. Let us know the result.

Best regards,
Ismael

Thanks very much. That solved the problem. I didn’t realize that the file was to be saved in that directory. You can close the ticket
