Hi, I’m using this theme for my personal site right now and quite satisfied with its look and feel but there’s one thing I’d like to make a change.

It’s the post author showing on the bottom left corner of each blog post on the blog page. As my site is a personal site, there’s only one author and I found it’s quite meaningless to put post author there on every blog post showing. So as the topic title suggested, I’d like to change it to a different attribute (either post category or post tag) but I’m not sure if there’s a way to do it other than editing the PHP template file. (I’m still new to WordPress theme.)

If I have to create a child theme in order to do the trick, is there a way to apply a child theme with all the customizations already made from the customizer in the parent theme? It’s kind of a pain to set everything over again…

FYI, here’s my site: https://unerase.in.th/

Thank you,

@unerase: Hello Unerase,
To replace the Author name with Categories you will need to create a child theme and do a little bit of customization. Let me know if you are familiar with child theme customization so that I can help you out.

Yes there is a way to apply a child theme with the customization already made from the parent theme. For that you can use Catch Import Export Plugin. Install and Activate the plugin. Then while the parent theme is activated.

Go to => Dashboard => Catch Import Export => Export. This will export the customizer settings of the parent theme to a file.

Then after you create and activate the child theme. You will need to import the same file.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

Hi, Skandha

As suggested, I’ve created a child theme but still cannot figure out where to edit the code. By looking in content.php file I found the part I want to customize is called by catch_vogue_blog_entry_meta_left() but I couldn’t find where the function was defined. Could you tell me where the function is?

Thank you,
unerase

@unerase: Hello Unerase,
Go to => Child Theme Folder => functions.php and add the code in this link.

Then Go to => Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS and add the following CSS Code.

.home .entry-footer .entry-meta .tags-links {
    overflow: visible;
    position: unset !important;
    width: 100%;
}

This should display posts instead of the author name.
Let me know if this works out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha
