Hey there 🙂
The order of sections at the bottom of my blog posts is not organised how I want and it seems you can’t do that. After you have read a post, you first hit ‘comments’ then the ‘share box’ then the ‘author box’ follow by ‘related articled’
I want it to first be the ‘share box’ then the ‘author box’ then the ‘related articles’ and lastly the comments’
Do you have any ideas how I could do this?
Many thanks,
Josh
my site is evolveonline.co if you would like to take a peek of what I mean, just click on any blog post.
hello Josh,
If you want to change the order of these elements, you will have to edit the theme files as there are no options in the theme panel for them.
You will have to edit these files corresponding for every post template you use: http://screencast.com/t/unA9oHB1
You can move the different parts of the code from the loop file in order to change position: http://screencast.com/t/d6XtKEsTl
Thank you!
Hey Bogdan,
Thank you so much for replying. I am a total noob at coding. I developed the site with the newspaper panel and visual builder. If you could tell me the above as if you were talking to an idiot that would be awesome.
Such as where I find access to the places you sent me in the screenshots. AKA the theme file. Would this be in my downloaded theme forest file? Where would I find the code and what is a loop file?
Thank you,
Josh
Hello,
Every post template uses a different file. The files can be found in the root folder of the theme as I shown above in my first screenshot. There are 2 files that correspond to every post template. There is a single.php and a loop-single.php.
You only need to edit the loop files for this modification so loop-single corresponds for the default post template. Loop-single-1 is post template 1 and so on and so forth.
When you access one of these files you will see the code that applies to every part of the post layout.
You simply need to cut and paste the parts between the php tags further up or down in the code and they will change position.
There is one issue though in your request. How you want them to be…is exactly as they should be by default:

On your site I see the facebook comment plugin. That is a whole different matter. I do not know how the plugin was implemented and in which file. I can only point out details about the default state of the theme.
Thanks.
