Thanks. Yes. I tested it and didn’t work. But the fox theme is complicated so I am trying something simple like 2023 theme. I am assuming there will be more people who have tried 2023 theme than the Fox. So I might get more feedback. And also, I am curious about how this plugin works. I like the way to create the user and I like the default style of the author box. My client is happy with that too. If the byline works then I can even suggest getting the pro version.
I will have a look how to create the child theme. Thansk for givng me the advice. How can I add the template tag in the child theme?
Functions.php of My child theme.
Do I just need to add
get_the_molongui_author` to override the original “fox_post_author” function? The problem is that I don’t know how to get $pid, $seperator and etc. from “fox_post_author” function since it has only one parameter (#show_avator).if ( ! function_exists( ‘fox_post_author’ ) ) : /** Author —————————————————————— */ function fox_post_author( $show_avatar = false ) { // YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE } endif;Fox Theme
if ( ! function_exists( 'fox_post_author' ) ) : /** * Author * ------------------------------------------------------------------ */ function fox_post_author( $show_avatar = false ) { // global $post; // $author_id = $post->post_author; // Finally, let's write all of this to the page. echo '<div class="fox-meta-author entry-author meta-author" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">'; if ( function_exists( 'get_coauthors' ) ) { $authors = get_coauthors(); } else { global $post; $author_id = $post->post_author; $authors = [ get_userdata( $author_id ) ]; } $count = 0; foreach ( $authors as $user ) { $author_id = $user->ID; $count++; $link = get_author_posts_url( $user->ID, $user->user_nicename ); // echo '<span class="byline"> ' . sprintf( fox_word( 'author' ), fox_coauthors_posts_links() ) .

You are right. I mixed it up. I networked-deactivate it but seems I need to deactivate in the subsite too. Thanks for that.
I have tried with 2023 again but still doesn’t work. but don’t worry about it. If I can help some help to fix up in the Fox theme then I am good to go. Thanks.
2023
@molongui Thanks. I tested on the demo with 2023 theme and it works. I am not sure if there is an custom code. I have a fresh download of 2023 theme and it doesn’t work. But It work with 2021 theme.
All of my plugins are disabled except Molongui.
This is what I see with 2023 Theme. (it doesn’t work)
Here is what I see with 2021 Theme. (It works.)
So this is for the 2023 theme. According to this https://www.molongui.com/help/byline-template-tags/, there might be some themes that are not compatible. I am not planning to use the 2023 theme in my site but I am just trying to find the theme compatiable issue that i have with the Fox theme.
I got the reply from the author of the Fox mag theme. I could try that but seems like if I update the latest version of the Fox them, I will have to manually update it again.
Hi there,
Yes, The Fox doesn’t use native WordPress author function, because it needs to support CoAuthor Plus plugin.
You can rewrite function fox_post_author in your child-theme/functions.php file
Like this:
if ( ! function_exists( ‘fox_post_author’ ) ) :
/**- Author
- —————————————————————— */
function fox_post_author( $show_avatar = false ) {
// YOUR CONTENT GOES HERE
}
endif;
That’s the best solution in this case I think
Kind regards,
Cuong Tran
