Post title link

Fancy Date Stamp? It appears the template is sort of mixed up. I see the old title and date with the permalink in HTML source, but it is hidden with CSS. I see a new title inside the date stamp div with no permalink.

Can you post the portion of the template that generates the old and new date stamp and old and new titles?

Thanks for your reply and help!
(Ahh yes sorry Fancy Date Stamp) Hope the below helps

This is from Fansy Date Stamp.php

function categories(){
	$categories = get_the_category();
	$spacer= ' ';
	$list= '';
	if($categories){
		foreach($categories as $category) {
			$list .= '<a class"categories" href="'.get_category_link( $category->term_id ).'" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) ) . '">'.$category->cat_name.'</a>'.$spacer;
		}
	$categories_output = trim($list);
	}
return $categories_output;
}

function insert_date_stamp() {

	$tday = date("d");
	$return_string .= "".stylesheet()."
		<div class='post-header'>
		<div class='stamp-container'>
			<span class = 'day'>".$tday."</span>
			<span class ='month'>".getmonth()."</span></div>
		<div class = 'post-title'>".get_the_title()."</div>
			<small class = 'categories'>categories: ".categories()."</small>
		</div>";

	return $return_string;

}

Here is the main section of content.php where I have added the Fancy Date Stamp as a shortcode: <?php echo do_shortcode(“[date-stamp]”); ?>

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<header class="entry-header">

					<h3 class="entry-format"><?php _e( 'Featured', 'twentyeleven' ); ?></h3>
				</hgroup>

			<?php echo do_shortcode("[date-stamp]"); ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

				$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'twentyeleven' ) );

OK, you have two titles going on, one generated by the date stamp without a link, and one generated by the theme with a link, but hidden by CSS.

You can either replace the datestamp title code with the one from the theme, or remove the datestamp title code and restyle the theme title to your liking.

The former is complicated by needing to convert mixed PHP/HTML to pure PHP. But working with mixed PHP/HTML of the theme and CSS is no picnic either, plus the category output ends up in the wrong place. I’d suggest the latter just because it is more “pure”.

Since you are altering your theme template and CSS anyway, if you haven’t already, you should be doing this through a child theme.
