I’d like to add a section to replace the ‘POST SHARING’ div. What I’d like to put in there instead is a table with various meta information.
Ideally, this would be an entire new option for me to add to a certain category of posts. Not sure how that can be arranged, but I would like to basically make it as part of the post template for posts within a certain group of categories. When added to a post, it would import various meta fields that would be added to the post.
The link above is an example of such a page. Below the TITLE, AUTHOR, DATE, there is the social sharing section. I’d like to remove that and replace it with the meta table I have written up. For simplicity purposes, this would be an example of the code. This would only be displayed on posts in a certain parent category.
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Meta Field 1</td>
<td>META INPUT 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Meta Field 2</td>
<td>META INPUT 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I appreciate the assistance in this and am loving this theme as I get deeper into it!
Hi,
An easier way to do that, assuming it is not required to display the custom content in that specific location, would be to display it in the sidebar using a text/HTML widget. And for the conditional part per category of posts use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/conditional-widgets/
But if you do need to display it inside the post template, then you could modify the template in a child theme and make the modifications you want to it. For example if you want to modify post template 2 create this folder structure and copy the files for the template there https://prnt.sc/kQc9t9o0mtxp The files can be copied from the composer https://prnt.sc/tumO7y5_3jTT This will work as well.
Thank you!
Hello again! Awesome, that’s a great start. I will play with that a bit and see if it attains the results I am looking for. I appreciate the pointers and am excited to give it a go!
