genesis_post_meta filter hook help

[clare]

Hi,
I am trying to use the "genesis_post_meta" filter hook to modify my site's post meta data. This particular hook is listed as one of the available Genesis filters on http://my.studiopress.com/docs/filter-reference/

For background, I am using WordPress version 3.9.1 with the Enterprise-Pro 2.0.1 theme. I have a Posts page that is different than the static Front page.

Currently, my post meta says, for example, "May 7, 2014 by (Edit)". I would like it to say "Written: May 7, 2014".
So I have added the following code to functions.php to try to achieve this:

function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if (is_home()) {
$post_meta = '<p>Written: ' . the_time('F jS, Y') . '</p>';
return $post_meta;
}
}
add_filter('genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter');

...but for some reason, it's not working. The post meta information is unchanged, and I'm not sure why. No errors occur, and the Posts page still loads fine. It's just that the current post meta information doesn't change at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using this code:

function post_meta_filter($post_info) {
	$post_info = '[post_date format="F jS, Y" label="Written: "]';
	return $post_info;
}
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_meta_filter');

This code will not restrict to the 'homepage' like you had in your original code. Feel free to apply your conditionals as needed.

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
	$post_info = 'Written: [post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	return $post_info;
}

Remove the shortcodes you don't want to display.
