Hi – in Theme Panel/Block Settings/Meta info on Modules/Blocks I have enabled Show Author Name and Show Date. However, only date is showing on my category pages. Where is author name?
For example: https://jazzjournal.co.uk/category/reviews/audio-reviews/
Thanks
Mark
Hello,
Please update the theme via FTP way, clear all the caches and if the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can investigate it closer that behavior.
Thanks.
Hi Catalin – not quite ready to load the update yet but I just noticed something. This page – https://jazzjournal.co.uk/category/letters/ is showing author and date. No other category page is. “jazzjournal” is the only user defined as administrator. All other users are either “contributor” or “editor”. Could this be a factor?
However, jazzjournal is used for Hermeto Pascoal (https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2019/02/27/hermeto-pascoal-that-crazy-brazilian-albino/) but the category page – https://jazzjournal.co.uk/category/features/ – does not show author for that.
Many thanks
MG
I now see that if I select M8 as Article Display View (in other words, no featured images) then author and date do both appear. If I use M6 (or M7), no author appears. Another ADV with pictures, M16, allows author to appear.
Does this help you identify the problem?
Thanks
MG
But if I add Show Review in Mera Info, Author and Date disappear from M8. So there are quite a few problems with Category settings?
Thanks
MG
Hi MG,
After inspecting your website I saw that your Author appears only for your post pages and not for blocks/module. For the beginning, please check the Theme panel settings from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ESPSd6Sw3r Ensure that you have enabled this meta information from there, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin – that’s correct – but please read my detailed description above. To repeat, I already have Show Author Name and Show Date activated in “Meta info on Blocks/Modules”.
However, author and date only show if I select M8 as display view – see here: https://jazzjournal.co.uk/category/reviews/audio-reviews/
If I select M6 or M7, no author appears, only date – see here: https://jazzjournal.co.uk/category/reviews/book-reviews/
I thought perhaps images were the problem, but another ADV with images, M16, allows author and date to appear. So the problem seems to be with M6 and M7 (and perhaps other views – I haven’t checked all of them).
I have cleared caches, but how do I purge CDN?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry for this, but please notice that for these two modules, the author name has been disabled by the code. Please check the theme core file from here and uncomment this code and the author name will be displayed. Check here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/BC7JrPULh5Ow
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
I look forward to helping you!
Thanks for your understnading!
Many thanks, Catalin – I don’t code much – can you tell me exactly what code to delete and what to replace it with?
Hi,
So you want to modify modules 6 and 7 and enable the author name for them. Best way to do it would be in a child theme, if not the modifications will be lost after a theme update when the theme files will be replaced
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
The child theme is included in the full theme package code folder. Install it and activate it.
In order to modify a module it needs to be copied in the child theme, a directory path to it has to be created in the child theme exactly as in the main theme
– http://prntscr.com/mwo34r
Copy the respective module files there, from main theme to child theme. Then in order to make theme display the author name remove the comment from the code
Before – http://i.prntscr.com/AuMHNqqPQueIW7bJ_7LbzA.png
After – http://i.prntscr.com/B24_IoALTNKwZqbH5KrK1A.png
You can always create category templates with the composer, and cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Instead of using predefined modules like the default category templates, in a cloud category template you can use a loop element. These are highly flexible in terms of design, here you can see how the cloud category templates look, you can also modify them or create your own
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Category
So for example a loop element has a toggle for showing the author or not, which will apply in that respective element only

Please let us know if you have more questions.
