First off, shapely is such a beautiful product. Have been using it for years with great results on my VCLRA.org website. I’m now getting two dates run together on the author line when viewing a post. I just want a single post date to appear. This problem even occurs when I run the shapely demo directly from the colorlib website.
See the attached pic with issue circled. Hoping there’s a css fix until it’s addressed in an update.
Hi there
Sorry about that, this problem is already reported and it should be fixed in the next theme update, sorry for inconvenience.
Regards
Hi there, I got the same problem, I m using the Version: 1.2.15, is there an update with this bug fixed already?
Best regards
Ricardo
hi there, how could I fix it myself please?
hi there, how did you fixed it?
Hi there
I did not make anything from my side, is it fixed?
Regards
nope, I just disable the date from show at the template options, I would like zo have only one time the date, created, and not twice, created and modified. how can I correct that?
Hi
I just verified and this problem is already reported here: Dates are duplicated · Issue #334 · ColorlibHQ/shapely · GitHub
yet there is no fix unfortunately but the next theme update will fix it.
Sorry for incoenicne
Regards
To fix this issue yourself, and you have a Child Theme of Shapely, you need to edit …\inc\template-tags.php file. If you do not have a Child Theme, then you edit the same file in the Shapely themes folder.
This is the code that I use (sorry, I can’t remember what line I modified) but it fixes the duplicate-date issue:
