author name on posts

Hi @frusi,

This function must be used within The Loop.

Where are you using it?

Kind Regards,

Thank you so much. I copied the line in the post.php file. I dont have any php knowledge . Shall I put that line on the index.php?

thanks for helping.

Are you using a child theme?

no. I looked at the author.php file and it seems that the author should be displayed. I am lost ??

Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.

Once you create a child theme, add the below line to your style sheet within the child theme:

.single-author .entry-meta .author {
	display: inline;
}

i figured it out a way to display it but I have no idea how to have it align with the rest of the content. anyone?

thanks a lot to you all for the suggestion!

Hi @frusi,

Awesome, great to see you got that resolved.

To align it with the rest of the content, just move the code you have added in between any of the following markups.

<header class="entry-header">
....
</header>

<div class="entry-content">
...
</div>

<footer class="entry-meta">
...
</footer>

Alternatively you can wrap it in the markup as following and aaply following stylesheet on it.

<div class="author-link">
...// Your code goes here
</div>

.author-link{
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1040px;
padding: 0 376px 0 60px;
width: 100%;
}

Cheers,
