I have been through the documentation as well as the WordPress.org site. I’m trying to display the blog author at the top of each blog post. Currently, the information displayed is the date, # comments and categories.

Thanks,
Amy

if you open all “content-post-*.php” (wp-content\themes\minicorp\content-post-audio.php, … ) files you will find the author field being commented out. Just un-comment it in every file.

change all

to

<span class="icon-pencil-1">by <?php the_author(); ?></span>

You might want to move it to change the order of the date, author, categories, comments.

To avoid your changes being overwritten and removed with future updates, you can use the child theme from the ZIP file from ThemeForest, activate it and copy the mentioned files from the parent theme into the child theme and then do the changes.

Cheers

The error message “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home3/finchone/public_html/wp-content/themes/minicorp/content-post-standard.php on line 14”

I have taken out the “<” but nothing seems to work. Here is the code for the blog post details that is causing the error. I only removed the “/* */” from the code – not sure why this isn’t working properly.

<div class=”blog-post-details”>
<?php
<span class=”icon-pencil-1″>by <?php the_author(); ?></span>
?>
<span class=”icon-calendar”><?php _e( ‘on’ , ‘ishyoboy’ ); ?> <?php the_time( get_option( ‘date_format’ ) ); ?></span>
<?php if ( has_category() ) : ?>
<span class=”icon-folder”><?php the_category(‘, ‘); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( has_tag() ) : ?>
<span class=”icon-tags”><?php _e( ‘and’ , ‘ishyoboy’ ); ?> <?php the_tags(null, ‘, ‘); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
<span class=”icon-chat-1″><?php _e( ‘with’ , ‘ishyoboy’ ); ?> #comments”><?php comments_number( __(‘0 comments’, ‘ishyoboy’), __(‘1 comment’, ‘ishyoboy’), __(‘% comments’, ‘ishyoboy’) ); ?></span>
</div>

As mentioned in our original reply you need to change the 3 lines to 1. So remove the:

<?php

then remove the comments:

/* */

then remove the:

?>

Please see again the original reply.
Cheers
