Moving Tag display in post template

My client would like to to move the location of the “Tags” to appear above the “Share this” social options on their post template.

For example page: https://reachinghighernh.org/2017/08/01/community-engagement-student-voice-transformed-pittsfield-school/

See image on how they would like this page changed:https://reachinghighernh.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/TagChange.pdf

How would I go about making this change? (I can’t seem to locate where this occurs in the template)

Hi Caitlin,

I understand that the line
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_the_tags();?>

Pulls the tags into the footer of the post.

I am trying to understand where the “Share this” icons are pulled into the content.

There is a line <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>

Somewhere in the “get_content” the “share this” line is added to the post. I have looked through the loop.php, the loop-single.php and the loop-single-1.php. I cannot find where the “share this” is inserted so that I can add the tags above it.

Where is this code:
<div class=”sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled”> == $0>

Inserted into the post? which template or function?

Thanks

Hello,

Similar to the initial post in this thread, I’m trying to move the TAGS line in the footer of my posts to appear at the top of my posts. The desired location would be under the AUTHOR/DATE line, under the top SHARE THIS line, or below the featured image in the post.

I was able to access the loop-single-1.php file in the editor. However, the screencast above from Caitlin is no longer active. I’m hesitant to attempt this change in the editor without having the visual of what line to move and where to place it. Would it be possible to repost the screencast showing what line to move and where to put it so my tags appear at the top of my posts?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Calin,

Thank you for the response. Is it possible to make this edit within WordPress (from within the Theme Editor)? If so, I’m not seeing the exact match for the line you shared in your screencast. The closest I can see is within ‘loop-single.php’ (from within the Theme Editor). Here’s the section I believe has what I need:

// tags
$td_post_tags = get_the_tags();
if( !empty($td_post_tags) ) { ?>
<div class=”td-post-source-tags”>
<ul class=”td-tags td-post-small-box clearfix”>

<?php
foreach ($td_post_tags as $td_post_tag) { ?>

<?php } ?>

</div>
<?php }

Thank you in advance!

Hi Calin,

I was able to move that line in the editor to the header. I’ve saved it and the change is confirmed in the code. However, the tags on my site (even after clearing the cache) are still showing in the footer, not in the desired location.

Is it possible that ‘loop-single-1’ is not the right file for my posts? If so, is there an easy way to determine which file is driving the layout of my posts so I can edit it accordingly?

Calin,

Thank you for confirming. I was able to update the proper file and this now works as desired. Thank you very much for all of your help!

Hello,

Following-up on the posts above, it appears the recent theme update has overridden the changes I made to the plugin for moving the tags to the tope of posts.

Where can I locate the loop-single-x.php file to make this change?

Thank you for the confirmation regarding the child theme. Putting that aside for a second, I’m still unable to locate where to change this setting. To confirm, I’m using the Edit Plugins feature in WordPress. In prior versions, I went through tagDiv Composer and was able to find it. It doesn’t appear to be in the same location anymore (following your screen capture above (from 9/5/2019).

My apologies, but I’m still having trouble making this change. I’m trying to update the default post style to move the tags to the top. Based on your screen captures:

1. Do I need to update loop-single.php and single-php (via TagDiv Composer)?

2. If yes to #1, what code needs to be copied where to put that at the top of the post (what I’m seeing in that plugin editor is different than September 2019)?

Thank you. To clarify, I was editing the plugin editor to edit the theme files but was not able to get that to update properly (like it did in September 2019). I would much prefer to not have to make this update every time a new version is released.

I was able to create a single post template through the Cloud Library. However, even though I set the sidebar to appear to the right in the default position, it is showing on the bottom. This occurred using multiple templates. Any idea on how to get the sidebar to appear properly when using/applying a Cloud Library template? The preview shows it correctly but when I apply it it doesn’t work.

That did it. Thank you for all your help!
