Change 'published by' text in blog header

everseen · July 2015

Hi,

I have a little problem. I am trying to change the Published by text inside the blog header. Normally the text is “Published by [user] at [date]”. Now I try to change this into “Published at [date] in [category]”. How can I change this?

I looked inside the theme files (includes/content-post.php), but changing that file didn't work for me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

are you talking about blog page or single post page?

I am talking about the single post page.

So if you are talking about single post page, you should change this under includes/content-single.php file. But please notice that we do not offer files modifications so all changes you must do yourself.

Thanks for your reply. I am now using the betheme child theme for any modification. The changes to includes/content-single.php are succesfull.

I use for the blog the masonry style. Where can I make modifications to this page?
I tried includes/content-page.php, but that doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Are you talking about "Blog" Muffin Builder item?

No I am talking about the blog page. The blog overview where you can see al the blog posts.
I have made an empty page called 'news'. Under Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Static Front Page > "Posts page" I have assigned the page 'news'.

And then I got this:

And I want to make some changes on that page.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Ok, so you set regular blog page. Settings for this page you can set under Theme options > Blog, Portfolio & Shop > Blog section.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I want to make changes at code-level, but I need to know in which file I need to make changes.

If you want to make changes in the code, then you must play with index.php and includes/content-post.php files. But please noticed that we do not offer any files modifications so all changes you must do yourself.

Thanks! It works fine now

I placed the function mfn_content_post in the functions.php file of the child theme.
