  • My first guess is that maybe you aren’t adding it inside the loop? It looks like it should work at first glance. What happened when you added it?

    that’s actually good! if you didn’t get any errors, then your code is probably good.

    i don’t how familiar you are with wordpress, but you need to get your code inside the loop, or it won’t work:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

    If you don’t know, the loop is the part of your code that looks like this:

    <?php
    if ( have_posts() ) {
    	while ( have_posts() ) {
    		the_post(); ?>
    		// here's where your code would go
    		<p class="post-info"> by <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_meta
    ('ID')); ?>"><?php the_author(); ?> | on <?php the_time('F jS, y'); ?> | posted in
    <?php
    
    $categories = get_the_category();
    $separator = ", ";
    $output = '';
    
    if ($categories) {
    foreach ($categories as $category) {
    
    	$output .= 'term_id) . '">' . $category->cat_name . $separator;
    	}
    echo trim($output, $separator);
    }
    ?>
    
    </p>
    		//
    	<?php } // end while
    } // end if
    ?>

    When I debug an issue like this, i start by getting just one piece to work, and then i add the rest a bit at a time so i can tell which part is blowing things up. So maybe try putting just
    <?php the_author(); ?>
    inside the loop and see if you can get it working.

    this is my index.php file where i added entry meta code.but after updating file,site is not loading:

    * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).

    get_header(); ?>

    <div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>

    $output = ”;

    if ($categories) {

    $output .= ‘term_id) . ‘”>’ . $category->cat_name . $separator;

    </header>

    <div class=”entry-content”>
    <p><?php printf( __( ‘Ready to publish your first post? Get started here.’, ‘twentytwelve’ ), admin_url( ‘post-new.php’ ) ); ?></p>

    </header>

    <div class=”entry-content”>

    <?php get_search_form(); ?>

    </div><!– #content –>
    </div><!– #primary –>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    It’s breaking in this line:

    $output .= 'term_id) . '">' . $category->cat_name . $separator;

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with term_id, but i took it out and wrote the line as:

    $output = $category->cat_name . $separator;

    and it worked! So maybe double check that you were trying do in that line?

    hey,kidcompassion

    it worked,but it appeared above THE POST TITLE.

    i want it to appear BELOW THE POST TITLE.

    This meta data information appears only in HOME PAGE.

    if i click on particular post,then the post appears in full and there will be no META DATA INFORMATION BELOW POST TITLE.

    what to do. please help me friend.

    AH! I understand!

    Okay: t way this theme works is that in the index.php, it creates a loop, and then it pulls in a content template file instead of the individual functions and logic to show data.

    Normally, a basic theme has an index file, with the loop, and it will say something like:

    <?php
    if ( have_posts() ) {
    	while ( have_posts() ) {
    		the_post();
    		//the_title();
    		// the_content();
    		//blah blah blah
    	} // end while
    } // end if
    ?>

    But when what you want to show for each individual post in the loop is really complex, that requires a lot of code. The best practice for handling that is to include it in a separate file, called a template part (here’s some info in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Include_Tags#Custom_Template_files) . That’s what’s you’re currently doing with this line:

    <?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>

    So all the stuff you want to edit is actually in THAT template file, which is called content.php. I can’t know for sure without seeing everything you have, but I’m pretty sure if you make a copy of their content.php and add it to your child theme, you will be able to edit that file to include your meta data where you want it.

    Let me know if that works!

    Cool! So try adding your code for your desired meta data (minus that one line that was throwing an error) in content.php, under the line with the_title() in it. That should get you closer to what you want.

    hellow,

    i don’t know, how to enter code.

    i want:1)author name etc below post title.
    2)author name etc for every full post
    please,help me.

    in content.php in your child theme of Twenty Twelve, add the code for the author meta after this line:

    <?php endif; // is_single() ?>

    for example:

    <?php if( is_single() ) {
    		$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',
    		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
    		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentytwelve' ), get_the_author() ) ),
    		get_the_author()
    		);
    		$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',
    		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
    		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
    		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
    		esc_html( get_the_date() )
    		);
    		$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );
    		$utility_text = '<span class="entry-meta"><span class="by-author">%3$s</span> %2$s %1$s</span>';
    
    		printf(
    		$utility_text,
    		$categories_list,
    		$date,
    		$author
    		);
    	} ?>

    might need some CSS for better formatting.
