entry meta, once removed, how to bring it back?

  • Hi,

    I removed the entry meta (author, date, etc) because I’m using the posts on my site as static pages (in addition to pages in a top menu). I then installed a blog in a separate directory. The blog is using the same theme as the site and I couldn’t get the entry meta to appear on the posts of the blog, because I found out that it has to use the same theme. So I’m trying to remove the code that I used to take out the meta, but that is not working.

    the css I used to remove the entry meta in my child theme is this:

    .entry-meta {
    font-style: italic;
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    display: none;
}

    I have tried commenting this out, I have tried display: block, display: inline. Nothing works.

    Any ideas? the website is here: https://dievilla.at/
    the blog is here: https://dievilla.at/blog/

    thanks!

  • removing the “display: none;” should be sufficient.

    If that doesn’t work try:
    .entry-meta {
    display: block !important;
    }

    Hello,
    in your blog you still have that display:none; in your child-theme style.css
    You can remove it.
    Both in your main site and your blog you can manage the post-metas visibility in Appearance -> Customize.

    Hope this helps.

    Well, that’s pretty cool that this is so easily controlled in Appearance/Customize. I wish I would have taken it out there, instead of using css. Feeling like I screwed something up.

    Unfortunately, the changes I make there aren’t taking effect…

    I tried removing the display line in the child theme css, both for the main website and the blog. Tried Mortonno’s suggestion of using !important. Both weren’t working.

    Went into Appearance/Customize and found the option there, and it works, but only in the Customize window. On the site, it doesn’t show. The weird thing is that I eventually completely removed any css referring to entry-meta, both in the website’s style sheet and in the blog’s, but if I inspect the element in the customize window, firebug shows me that I still have css on line 79 referring to entry-meta in my child theme style sheet. Though the display: none; line is crossed out. And I already deleted the css, and uploaded the style sheets again.

    Also, if I re-load the page, while in the Customize area, then navigate to a blog post, the meta info is gone, even though the box is still checked to show it. So I uncheck the box, then check it again, and it shows, I save, then go to the blog, refresh, no meta info.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I’m still scratching my head here.
