Display authoriw

    On https://visualportfolio.co/posts-tiles/ and even on the screenshots here (Example: Masonry + Posts) there is a post-based grid / masonry layout that outputs excerpts.
    I first had some difficulties to find out that I need to activate “Display Excerpt”.
    But even with a second look I couldn’t find a “Display Author”.

    Is there a way to display the author?
    Do I need to create a custom template and/or a custom query?

    Hi.

    There is no option to display the author, so you will need to create your own Item Style filter the existing template.

    Thanks for your answer.

    As you’re developing Visual Portfolio further, it would be nice to add this to your backlog as I feel it wouldn’t be that difficult to add but give “pro” value (which I might be ready to pay for too).

    It actually worked great with my own template by copying meta.php to the theme template folder into visual-portfolio/items-list/items-style/meta.php as explained here:

    https://visualportfolio.co/documentation/developers/changing-default-templates-and-styles/

    and just adding: 

    
<div class="vp-portfolio__item-meta-date">
<?php
printf(
    /* translators: %s: post author */
    /*__( 'Published by %s', 'twentynineteen' ),*/
    esc_html( get_the_author() )
);
?>
</div>

    Not sure if all is “best practices” but keep it here as a reference if someone else (or myself later) has the same requirement.
