Change Meta Information Labels in Genesis Featured Posts Widget

[adoughertyParticipant]

Greetings all!

I've found the lovely snippet of code to change the meta information labels (aka: Categories: & Tagged with) on my theme but am trying to find a way to do the same with the Genesis Featured Posts widget.

I'm using the modern portfolio theme and want to display tags on my homepage but the label, e.g. Tagged with, doesn't suit me.

Would I need to copy the widget into the child theme folder and edit it directly or is there a way to do this with the child theme's functions.php file?

Thanks in advance,
Anne

Doesn't look like the entry meta for the entry footer is included in the output for the featured posts widget, only the post info.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the reply. I am, perhaps, using the incorrect terminology.

When I use the featured posts widget to display [post_tags]

it comes out using "Tagged with"

Yet because I have this code

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
	$post_meta = '[post_tags sep=", " before="Tags: "]';
	return $post_meta;
}

in my functions.php file the tags on actual posts come out with "Tags"

I'm trying to figure out how to make them both say "tags."

Any help is most appreciated.

You will enter this into post info input box

[post_tags sep=", " before="Tags: "]

That worked like a charm! Thank you!

See here to modify the shortcode attribute values

However, using the shortcodes in the post info field displays the tags before the content in the entry header and not after the content in the entry footer.

Hi Brad,

Thanks again for the reply.

Is there a super secret way to make the feature posts widget display tags in the entry footer? As in...would I need to edit the widget?

Thanks much,
Anne
