How do I add post info to pages?

[mathiasppc]

I tried adding this to functions.php:

//* Customize the post info function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}

I also tried swapping genesis_post_info with genesis_entry_header, but with no luck

 

Thanks for any comments 🙂

I I just want the post info (author, date and comments) to show up on pages (as it`s already showing up in posts)

[tibor]

Since the genesis_post_info function does not run on pages, you would have to add it to the page first:

Adding this to your page template (page.php) may do the trick:

add_action( 'genesis_after_post_title', 'my_page_info' );
function my_page_info() {
	
	$post_info = '[post_date] ' . __( 'by', 'genesis' ) . ' [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	printf(  '<div class="post-info">%s</div>', do_shortcode( $post_info )  );
}

Thanks Tibor!

Do I put this in the page.php in the Genesis Framework though? I thought I was not supposed to edit those files?

[tibor]

You should indeed never edit any Genesis core files. If you want this on all your pages, just add a new file named page.php to your child theme folder and Genesis will use that instead of it's own.

It should look like this:

<?php
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_title', 'my_page_info' );
function my_page_info() {
	
	$post_info = '[post_date] ' . __( 'by', 'genesis' ) . ' [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	printf( '<div class="post-info">%s</div>', do_shortcode( $post_info ) );
}

genesis();

You could also use it in functions.php, but then you'd first have to check if you're on a page post-type.

Actually you might want to see how Genesis uses the post-info function: look in genesis/lib/structure/post.php, at or around line 252

Thanks again Tibor

Here`s what I put in functions.php

if ( is_page() ) {
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'my_page_info' );
function my_page_info() {
$post_info = '[post_date] ' . __( 'by', 'genesis' ) . ' [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
printf( '<p class="entry-meta">%s</p>', do_shortcode( $post_info ) );
}
}

It doesent work because I think theres something wrong with the if-statement? Without if ( is_page() ) the extra post info shows up on all posts and pages.

The conditional needs to be added after the function or it won't work.

Code tested and works on Genesis 2.0 HTML 5 Sample child theme.

I am trying to do this also. I added this to my functions.php file:

function my_page_info() {
$post_info = '[post_date] ' . __( 'by', 'genesis' ) . ' [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
printf( '<p class="entry-meta">%s</p>', do_shortcode( $post_info ) );
}

if ( is_page() ) {
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'my_page_info' );
}

But nothing is appearing on my pages. Any help?
