How To Customize Genesis Post Info

Well before we proceed I will suggest to take some precautionary measures. Actually we are going to edit function.php file. This file is responsible for all custom functions performed by your themes and if you placed the code in wrong position it will temporary bring down your website.

So please kindly;

• Create complete backup of your theme.
• Make sure you have direct access to your file manager.
• You can use FTP tool or,
• Login to your cPanel and keep your file manager open.

Now once you complete the above task, you can move to your wordpress dashboard. From there you will have to put your cursor on Appearance and then from hover on menu select editor.

Wordpress dashboard >> Apperance >> Editor

Now from editor select the function.php file. Now simply copy the required code from below and paste it at the bottom.

//* Customize Post Info In Genesis Theme


add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );

function post_info_filter($post_info) {
$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]';

return $post_info;

}

Now if you are planning to remove post info then you can use the below code.

remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );

You have to just copy them and paste them into your function file. Once done, clock on Update button and you are ready to go.
