 * Hi,
 * The meta data for the news posts (publish date and author name) are not showing
   up for some reason. Can you let me know how to fix this?
 * By the way, the articles in the main blog of my website are showing the meta 
   data without any problems. The issue is specific to the news section that was
   created using your plugin.
 * Appreciate your help.
 * Thanks.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for reaching here.
 * Please pass the parameter “show_date” in the shortcode.
    [sp_news show_date=”
   true”]
 * Our plugins only post date display not author name display in the free version
   so please check this plugin.
 * Let me know if you have any issues or queries.
 * Thanks,
