 * hi guys,
 * On my blog i have 7 posts showing when you first go to it. At the end of the 
   blog is the tags and then the link for comments.
 * I was wondering how i would get to add another link at the top of the post. Next
   to where it has the author of the blog preferably.
 * Any help would be great. thank you. If you need any other information please 
   let me know.

 * Jackson,
 * I appreciate you taking the time to help with this problem and the other problem

   into?

 * Depends on the theme, but likely in index.php – inside this div,
    `<div class
   ="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons">` right before the closing tag, and
   after the author link PHP code.

 * I can get that to work only if i am on the website and using firebug to enter
   it, but that only shows on my screen.. My index file only contains `<?php
    get_header();
 *     ```
       if (have_posts())
        {
           while (have_posts())
           {
             art_post();
           }
           art_page_navi();
        } else {
           art_not_found_msg();
        }
   
       get_footer();
       ```
   
 * sorry if i am being a pain

 * Looks like your theme uses a function called `art_post` to output the content,
   so you would need to edit that function which is defined somewhere within your
   theme files. Search your theme directory for ‘function art_post’ and you should
   be able to locate it. It’s specific to your theme, so you might try reaching 
   out to the theme author if you run into trouble.

 * haha you are not going to believe this. I followed your input. found a file called
   Functions, that had the art_post function in it. after looking at it and inserting
   the code here and there, and then ftp the file to the site and still wouldn’t
   work!
 *  So just to make sure i didn’t miss anything i downloaded a program to scan through
   all files in a folder for specific text. I searched for “author” and it found
   a bunch (as expected). But there was a config file. and it looked something like
   this:
 * [metadate]
    .. . …. …. header = “date,author,edit”; footer =”category,tag,comments”;……
 * So i figured i might as well try it before i come back here and bug you more,
   i added comments to the header section and it finally worked.
 * Thank you so much for your help on this
 * So

 * [@dmhbeast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dmhbeast/) Your theme code generated
   automatically by “Artisteer” generator. I didn’t know about art_ anything until
   yesterday some guy asked to find a bug in his theme. art_post() function had 
   broken my brain 🙂
    As I understand, Artisteer creates own layer of functions
   with art_ prefix. It reminds standard WP functions like `art_get_post_thumbnail()`.
   This code is **very** difficult to reading and editing.
