Date and Comment Meta Disappeared

[thegirlcreative]

I'm editing the Runway theme and my date and "leave a comment" link disappeared on the front page and on the blogs posts. I don't think I played around with that code but can't get it back.

Do you have a backup copy of your function.php file? you may need to restore it.

I do have it. I tweaked mainly the stylesheet but maybe I did something in the functions file too. I will compare. I'd hate to lose all my edits if I have to restore it.

[RobG]

Did you edit the function.php at all?

I have StudioPress Propack and was looking for that theme you're using but I can't see to locate it. I was going to see what might be missing.

It's a 3rd party theme I think although I did purchase it through Studiopress last week.

I can see the “leave a comment” link under each post is that what you're referring to?

If you look at this site (www.smartschoolhouse.com) you will see there is the date and comments right under the post title (on the homepage). If you click on a post, you will see it again under the title. That is what mine should look like.

[RobG]

Yes I can see it, I would need to see the function.php file to try and figure out what might be missing.

Do you have a copy of the function.php?

I do. Where should I send it?

[RobG]

Or if you like maybe you can download that theme in a folder and allow me to grab a copy so I can upload it on my demo domain to see the function.php file. I would be more then happy to help anyway I can.

Hello Diana after looking at the function.php this is the custom post function , that control your date and post comment. I'm not sure what could be missing but it seems like your [post_date] [post_comments] are not there.

Accesss your function.php and locate the following code you see below. Copy your existing custom post function and just replace it with the one below. If there's anything missing from it, it should add it and should be ok.

// Customize the post info function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
    $post_info = '[post_date] [post_comments]';
    return $post_info;
}}

Okay, I tried that and it didn't work. I even tried deleting the theme, installing it again and still nothing. I made a total mess. ha ha I'm starting over with a new test site and hopefully I won't make the same mistakes. Thanks so much for your help, Rob. 🙂

[RobG]

I Would be happy to look at it for you if you like.

I appreciate that. I started over and am slowing figuring out where I had made tweaks to the style sheet.

[RobG]
