Essence Pro Tags

[John Cameron]

I've used Genesis Simple Edits to add tags to the 'Entry Meta (below content)'. The tags are not showing after the post content in a test post.

I've not had this problem before. Simple Edits just works. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

p.s.
I'm working in a 'staging site' changing from a non-Genesis theme to Essence Pro.

Actually, this site was launched on a Studio Press theme, years later changed to a non-Studio Press theme and years later I'm now working with Essence Pro.

Perhaps this is a question someone can answer: how do I get tags to show on posts?

Further info:

checking the functions.php file (which is unmodified), I do have this section:

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'essence_modify_post_info' );
/**
* Modifies the meta information in the entry header.
*
* @since 1.0.0
*
* @param string $post_info Current post info.
* @return string New post info.
*/
function essence_modify_post_info( $post_info ) {

	global $post;

	setup_postdata( $post );

	if ( is_single() ) {
		$post_info = '[post_categories before="" after=" /"] [post_date] <i class="byline">by</i> [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments before="/ "] [post_edit]';
	} else {
		$post_info = '[post_categories before=""]';
	}
	return $post_info;

}

And I do have [post-tags] in the Entry Meta (below content) section of Simple Edits

Update:

Looks like [post-tags] in the Entry Meta (above content) will display tags.
Not really what I want; might have to live with it

If anyone can provide info on getting the tags below content, please reply...

thanks

Morning John,

This may help you out.

Around line 417 of your functions.php file you'll find the code that's removing your entry_footer.

// Removes the entry footer.
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_close', 15 );

You'll want to remove that and then maybe add the following filter to format as you wish:

// Customize  entry meta footer
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'update_post_meta_filter' );
function update_post_meta_filter( $post_meta ) {
	$post_meta = '[post_categories] [post_tags]';
	return $post_meta;
}

Let us know how you make out and if this takes care of it, please mark "Resolved."

Hi Terry,

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to help out!

I removed the "Removes entry footer" code from functions.php
Then added the "Customize entry meta footer" code.

Opened Genesis Simple edits and moved the [post_tags] shortcode to Entry Meta (below content).

That seemed to work!

Also, I can now choose to have tags above or below.

I'm going to mark this 'Resolved'.
