Ok, I followed that tutorial. I have 2 questions:
A. why the date displayed is always “Jan 01”?
B. Once fixed point A, how can I change date format from English to Italian?
OK for point B I modified functions.php as follows
if ( ! function_exists( 'raindrops_posted_date' ) ) :
function raindrops_posted_date() {
?>
<h2 class="title-date"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyeleven' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php
global $post;
$day = date( 'd',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() ) ) );
$month = date( 'M',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() )) );
switch ($month) {
case 'Jan':
$month = 'Gen';
break;
/* and so on ... */
}
?>
<div class="post-date">
<span class="post-month"><?php echo $month; ?></span>
<span class="post-day"><?php echo $day; ?></span>
</div>
<?php
}
endif;
but I can’t understand why every post is tagged by January, 1st…
try to change those lines:
$day = date( 'd',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() ) ) );
$month = date( 'M',strtotime( esc_html( get_the_date() )) );
to:
$day = get_the_date( 'd' );
$month = get_the_date( 'M' );
(untested, as the original code was working in my test)
OK perfetct now it works!
Another question on functions.php. The second function of that code can be omitted? The code is:
if (!function_exists( 'twentyeleven_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
* Create our own twentyeleven_posted_on to override parent function in our child theme
*/
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __('<span class="by-author"> <span class="sep">Posted by </span> <span class="author vcard"><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span></span>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), get_the_author() ) ),
get_the_author()
);
}
endif;
If I omit
twentyeleven_posted_on
functions, the child theme inherits the posted_on properties of Twenty Eleven. Can I omit this portion of code without any problem?
thanks
