Change "Filed Under" in Sixteen Nine Theme

[vangelisbel]

Hi!

I''m trying to change the Post meta title from "Filed Under" to "Categories" in Sixteen NIne Pro theme. I pasted the following code in functions.php, but the title "Filed Under" doesn't change.
Am I doing something wrong?

//* Customize the post meta function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
$post_meta = '[post_categories before="Categories: "]';
return $post_meta;
}}

Change this:

[post_categories before="Filed Under: "]

to this:

[post_categories before="Categories: "]

and that should get it working. 🙂

Im sorry I wrote the wrong code before. I edited my first message.

The code i used is:

//* Customize the post meta function
add_filter( ‘genesis_post_meta’, ‘sp_post_meta_filter’ );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
$post_meta = ‘[post_categories before="Categories: "]‘;
return $post_meta;
}}

but as I told you before, it doesn't work. Any ideas?

[nutsandbolts]

I just tried it on a test site and it worked fine for me.... Hmmm.....

Where did you place it in functions.php? If you put it at the end, try putting it up higher - between any two existing functions should be fine.

Hi again and thanks so much for trying to help!

I copied and pasted my whole fuctions.php file below and I made the post meta code bold.

Did you test the code in the same theme?
Could this be a Genesis 2 or HTML5 thing that requires a different code?

Yep, I tested on Sixteen Nine. I don't see anything at all that should be affecting that snippet... So weird. You aren't using a caching plugin by any chance, are you?

You know, I just noticed you're using the default permalinks, so I wonder if the conditional is why it's not working. Try changing your permalinks to postname under Settings > Permalinks (you can always change them back afterward if you prefer the default) to see if that gets it to change.

As it is, the function is set not to work on pages, so that will count out the page you linked to in your original post. So the conditional itself may be the problem, though it wouldn't hurt to rule out permalinks.

I have no caching plugins.
I changed the permalinks, but still no change..
I can't really understand why though...

[nutsandbolts]

Okay, try it with no conditional (be sure you either copy and paste or take out the second bracket at the end as well):

add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
	$post_meta = '[post_categories before="Categories: "] [post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
	return $post_meta;
}

Unfortunately no change once again.
I have one bracket at the end of the code, right?

[nutsandbolts]

Yep. That works sitewide on the test site - every post, every page, every archive and category page.... This is going to drive me crazy.

me too.. I also had a problem with the default layout. If I select the full-width one as the default and want the sidebar one only in some pages, it doesn't work.

I had to select the sidebar layout as the default and select in most of the pages the full-width layout as a custom choice.

Do you think there might be something wrong with my theme installation?

Should I install the original theme again and redo all the customisations?

[nutsandbolts]

Try deactivating all non-Genesis plugins first to see if that works. And just to be sure, you aren't using the Simple Edits plugin, correct?

Also, do you have a CDN or Cloudflare enabled through your Dreamhost account? If so, you may need to clear those caches.

[vangelisbel]

No, I don't have a CND enabled. I don't think that it's a cache thing, because I did some other functions.php customisations and all of them appeared once I reloaded the page. It's the first time that a change I do, doesn't show up..

[nutsandbolts]

I think I would open a support ticket with StudioPress on this one... There's no reason it shouldn't be working unless it's a plugin conflict. If that's been ruled out and you don't have Genesis Simple Edits installed, it's something beyond the realm of forum support.

Oh... Finally! Thanks so much!

It was a plugin issue after all. I did had Simple Edits activated and once I deactivated it, the word "Categories" showed up!

Actually the only reason I downloaded this plugin is because I wasn't confident enough to change the following code myself into © Copyright 2013 Vangelis Photography:

//* Customize the footer
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_output', 'sixteen_nine_custom_footer' );
function sixteen_nine_custom_footer( $output ) {

$output = sprintf( '<p>%s%s</p>', __( 'Powered by ', 'sixteen-nine' ), __( 'Genesis', 'sixteen-nine' ) );
return $output;

}

If you help me with this customisation, I owe you a big one!!!

[nutsandbolts]

Meh, don't bother with their code. Just take that out and replace it with this:

//* Change the footer text
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text', 'sp_footer_creds_filter');
function sp_footer_creds_filter( $creds ) {
	$creds = '[footer_copyright] Vangelis Photography';
	return $creds;
}
