    Hello

    This may be easy, but I can’t find the option in XStore to ensure all news posts display the post date with the Post metadata.

    If anyone is posting either news items or instructional posts, then the post date is probably the most important of the metadata, as it shows when it was posted and this would indicate when a piece of information is out of date.

    I checked in theme options > Blog > Display Title/Meta On Single Post > ON

    But the date is not shown on the singe post. Please advise?

    At the moment the post metadata displayed includes Post author, number of views and number of comments. I would like to also include this metadata below:

    Posted On January 9th, 2021 – Posted In {category}

    Hello,

    Provide us with link to your post and WP Dashboard access, please. We need to check the type of post that you use and other blog settings to reproduce the issue on our test installations.

    Provide us with FTP access to your site, please. We’ll check in more detail why the date does not appear in the meta block.

    Hello Olga

    Sorry for the delay. The site was offline for a long time as it was put on a back-burner.

    Hello @Themadguru,

    When you select such blog layout https://gyazo.com/efcb3902324104fc678e9530cfd22149 , the post date is displayed here – https://gyazo.com/f8c015bb4dfb3be84cddafc04ad4db8a You can change the Blog layout via Theme Options > Blog > Blog layout.
    If you do not want to change the layout, submit a request here – https://www.8theme.com/taskboard/ If this request takes votes also from other customers then our developers will be able to implement this.

    Regards

    Hello Rose

    At the moment, the customizer is not working on that site. I reported this in another support ticket and it is being worked on by your development team.

    I am not talking about the Blog page layout, but the single blog post page where some of the meta is missing, specifically the date. It appears by default without XStore. XStore’s blog layout should not be removing this piece of information for readers, since it’s the most important part of post meta data. It shows the reader is a post is recent or out of date. Changing the Blog page layout should not remove it for single blog posts. XStore has not made this a choice for us.

    @Olga Barlow

    Sorry but after re-checking, I don’t find what’s wrong.
    The screen capture you sent me shows up to 14 hidden characters on the password but the password should be 12 characters long. I just tested login again on Filezilla with my informations and It worked.

    Can you please retry ? (I wrote you the informations again in private)

    Please contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello Rose

    Thank you very much and thank you to the dev team.

    I notice that the fix has been applied to only the child theme and the main theme has not been fixed. Will the main theme be fixed? Has it been acknowledged that this is a fault in the main theme?

    I have approximately 9 XStore licenses. Will this fix be applied to the next XStore update? I think one or two other of my sites are affected, but they can wait for the update.

    Hello,

    You’re welcome!
    Yes, the date will be shown on post page after the next update. Via the child theme the category was added.

    Thank you @Rose ! 🙂 Date seems to show now, from the update maybe ? I hid it first by CSS when the date wasn’t there yet and I just changed it now and I can see the date.
    Sorry for the login issues. I really don’t know what’s going on with this. I’ll try to find out.
    Thank you again for your help.

    Thank you, Rose and Olga, for your help, and the dev team.

    I won’t close this ticket just yet. I’ll wait until after the next update to make sure it’s all working at that time before I close it.

    Thanks

    Hello Again @Rose,

    As I want to show only the date, I’m using the CSS code :not() but it doesn’t hide the text “published by” wich seems to be not in a contanier (may be is this the thing preventing me from hiding this text). Can you help me on that ?

    Please contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello Remi Manguin,

    try this tweak to hide all except date

    .meta-post {
font-size: 0;
}
.meta-post * {
display: none;
}
.meta-post .entry-date {
font-size: 1.14rem;
display: block;
}

    Your custom as below could be removed

    .meta-post :not(.entry-date) {
visibility: hidden;
display: none;
}

    Regards
