Moving meta information (author, date) from bottom of post to top of post

Travelify

Hi Aigars,

I am using Travelify version 4.0 for my new blog. Thanks for this fantastic theme! I have a question about moving author/date information from the bottom of a post to the top of a post:

I have followed your documentation (10. How to set up Blog Page) to set up full length blog posts on the home page of my blog.

However, on the home page, the meta information (author, date, categories) appears at the bottom of the post: www.patentprosolutions.com

When I click on an individual post, the meta information appears at the top of the post, under the title: www.patentprosolutions.com/to-improve-patent-quality-train-better-patent-prosecutors/

I would like the meta information on the home page to appear at the top of the post, under the title, like it does for an individual post. Can you help me with this?

Thanks again!

-Neil

Hi Neil,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can move the meta information (author, date) from bottom of post to top of posy by adding the following code in the functions.php file of your child theme or add it in your site using any of the following plugins.

if ( ! function_exists( 'travelify_theloop_for_template_blog_full_content' ) ) :
/**
 * Fuction to show the content of page template full content display.
 */
function travelify_theloop_for_template_blog_full_content() {
    global $post;

    global $wp_query, $paged;
    if( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) {
        $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' );
    }
    elseif( get_query_var( 'page' ) ) {
        $paged = get_query_var( 'page' );
    }
    else {
        $paged = 1;
    }
    $blog_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'paged' => $paged ) );
    $temp_query = $wp_query;
    $wp_query = null;
    $wp_query = $blog_query;

    global $more;    // Declare global $more (before the loop).

    if( $blog_query->have_posts() ) {
        while( $blog_query->have_posts() ) {
            $blog_query->the_post();

            do_action( 'travelify_before_post' );
