Cannot customize Post Meta using Custom Functions.php – Gutenberg issue?

[njrParticipant]

I'm trying to customize the post meta info to include date, author, categories list (comma separated).

In effect, I simply need to add categories.

I had this working (took me a full day of work) but either I lost the code or wordpress updated, or something, and I CANNOT get this to work again.

I've tried dozens of code like the following, but NOTHING seems to affect the post meta whatsoever. Is this a Gutenberg issue?

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}

Make sure the Genesis Simple Edits plugin is not active.

Thanks Brad. I don't have that plugin.

Could I try something else?

I tried this again today and it worked. Not sure what I was doing wrong...

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] | [post_categories before="" sep=","] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}

The filter is right, looks like you have different shortcodes. Not sure exactly what you wanted to modify buts that the right hook.
