Twenty Twelve Post title/footer change

This is a little complicated because the entry date is baked into a function in the theme’s function.php file and you also need to modify the content.php file.

I highly recommend creating a child theme before you make any of these changes. See this link for more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

First, to get the date below the title, I recommend amending the twentytwelve_entry_meta function in the function.php file. From lines 360 to 364, delete everything in printf( ); except for $date

Now nothing but the date will show when you call the twentytwelve_entry_meta function.

Next, you’ll need to add the twentytwelve_entry_meta function to the content.php file in order to display the date. I suggest adding it to line 26 in order to place it below the title.

The next step is to add <p>Posted By Carrie</p> to line 44 of the content.php file, directly after the <footer class="entry-meta"> line. Then comment out everything from line 45 down to line 54 right before the `<!– .author-avatar –>’ comment.

This is pretty complicated if you aren’t familiar with PHP or WordPress theme files, so let me know if you need any more details.
