Single posts are typically displayed with post metadata like author name, post date, categories, tags, and comment count. In Underscores this output is created using a function. Discover how to modify and customize the output of post meta in your custom WordPress theme in this video tutorial.
- [Instructor] Still in the header,…I also want to change the post metadata.…Right now it spells out the words, posted on,…followed by the publishing dates and this is a link…to the post itself.…Then the word, by, followed by the author name…and this is a link to the author archive.…I want to jumble this around so it starts…by saying, written by, then the author name,…then published, then the publishing date…and then I want to add a link to the comment section…that says either, no comments, one comment,…or the number of comments.…And finally I want to move the edit link…up into the header meta section.…
Just like before I'll start in content.php…to figure out what is generating this content right now.…I'll scroll down until the entry meta section,…and here we see another function, humescores_posted on.…I'll hold on control of command to go to the function.…This function is in templatetags.php…just like the previous one was.…And here we have all the code that generates…what you see on the front end.…And on first look, this looks pretty intimidating,…
