move post meta above post

[karlaarcher]

I'm trying to figure out how to move the post meta (categories and tags) above the post (right below the post info). I'm at a loss. All I'm finding is how to remove it.

Thanks for any insight!!

Try this in functions.php file

// post info location change
remove_action('genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta');

add_action('template_redirect', 'child_conditional_actions');
function child_conditional_actions() {
if( is_single() ) {
add_action('genesis_before_post_title', 'genesis_post_meta');
}}

Thanks, idavinder!

I tried that (after removing the second } at the end, and it didn't work -- it must be missing something -- It breaks the site.

You need the last curly brace so put it back

Thanks, SoZo -- I added that back in -- have never seen a }} (that I recall). It didn't break, but it didn't move it before the post. It's gone: http://client8.archercreative.com/

You just need to close every opening curly brace. Since there are two you need two closing ones. And it's there. It's just that there is a conditional in there: is_single(), so it's only outputting on the single post page, e.g. http://client8.archercreative.com/archives/84

If you want to change it everywhere you just need

remove_action(‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);
add_action(‘genesis_after_post_title’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);

And you may need to add in a priority as well since post_info is hooked onto after_post_title as well, e.g.

add_action(‘genesis_after_post_title’, ‘genesis_post_meta’, 5);

To learn about priority numbers and other add_action parameters see this.

ah yes - two conditions. Makes sense.

I still don't see the categories, above or below...

What exactly do you have in there now? It's still showing up above the post title in singel view.

I'm trying to get the post categories before the post not after.

Yes, but you want them below the post title, right?

What did you add to the functions file after my post? i.e what did you change? I am not seeing any difference. It still shows up above the post title in the single post page, which is where iDavinder's example would output, not mine.

Yes -- I want both below the post title: Post title, post info, post meta

I only added the code that iDavinder posted above. I didn't remove or add anything else.

maybe I have something else in my functions that is overriding it?

Remove what iDavinder posted and replace it with what I posted in my second response.

Wait, how are the posts on the home page being output?

I added

remove_action(‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);
add_action(‘genesis_after_post_title’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);

add_action(‘genesis_after_post_title’, ‘genesis_post_meta’, 5);

and it's still at the bottom of the posts.

(I appreciate your help SoZo!!)

You don't add the add_action twice. You only need

remove_action(‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’);
add_action(‘genesis_after_post_title’, ‘genesis_post_meta, 5 ’);

And you'll need to play with the priority number. But there is another issue with the home page since the post meta isn't showing anywhere.

Thanks SoZo -- I ended up putting [post_categories] [post_tags] in the post info.

I then, to the CSS, I added:

.post-info .categories, .post-meta .tags {
display: block;
padding: 0;
}

Issue solved. I was totally over thinking this... (as usual...)

Thanks for the help and patience, y'all!
