Avatar image and year in posts in homepage

[macarri80]

Hi,
it’s a very simple question, but I can’t find where to upload an image to use as avatar in posts.

And I would like to show the year in the blog posts that appears at the bottom of the homepage.

Thanks

Hi,

1) You need a Gravitar assosiated with the email address you use to manage your WordPress site: https://en.gravatar.com/.

2) Not a simple modification. Please activate your child theme, within the functions.php file please add this:

	/* DATE FIGURE OVERLAY
	================================================== */
	function sf_override_date_figure_overlay() {
		global $post, $sf_options;
		$remove_dates  = $sf_options['remove_dates'];

		if ($remove_dates) {
			return;
		}

		$post_date_month = get_the_date('M');
		$post_date_day = get_the_date('d');
		$post_date_year = get_the_date('Y');
		return '<div class="date-overlay narrow-date-block"><span class="month">'.$post_date_month.'</span><span class="day">'.$post_date_day.'<span class="month">'.$post_date_year.'</span></div></div>';

	}
	add_filter( 'sf_override_before_recent_post_thumb', 'sf_date_figure_overlay', 30 );

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

thanks for your reply.

1) Perfect, I didn’t know that.

2) I’ve pasted the code in function.php in folder Atelier Child Theme but nothing different happens in homepage. I’ve also tried deleting the cache. You can edit the file from WP admin if you need to test.

Hi,

Have you added anything else to your theme functions, I cannot view the site.

Please add your FTP details so I can take a look at the functions.php file.

Appologioes, there were two errors in my code. First was the filter name, second was a double closing div.

Here is the tested working new code which I have added to your functions.php file.:

     function sf_override_date_figure_overlay() {
     global $post, $sf_options;
     $remove_dates  = $sf_options['remove_dates'];
     
     if ($remove_dates) {
     return;
     }
     
     $post_date_month = get_the_date('M');
     $post_date_day = get_the_date('d');
     $post_date_year = get_the_date('Y');
     return '<div class="date-overlay narrow-date-block"><span class="month">'.$post_date_month.'</span><span class="day">'.$post_date_day.'<span class="month">'.$post_date_year.'</span></div>';
     
     }
     add_filter( 'sf_before_recent_post_thumb', 'sf_override_date_figure_overlay', 30 );
