Hi, I am trying to get the author, review and date meta data to appear on the blocks/modules of my homepage but for whatever reason the tab under block settings that alter this setting in the theme panel do not seem to be working properly (unless I am mistaken).
The Category tag on module / blocks setting is working fine but I cannot get the meta data to function.
Please advise and thanks in advance
Hello NateTheCyborg,
Please check these options from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PuyYfFkOaoc Ensure that these options are enabled from Theme panel, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello i have done the steps and double checked that I have in fact hit the options you outlined but the metadata for date, author are still not appearing on the blocks on my homepage. Reviews and functioning properly however.
Please Advise
Hi,
Could be a demo characteristic, most demos contain custom design that in some cases overrides default theme settings. Please provide a link to your website or mention what demo you have installed.
Thanks
Hi, I have the say what? demo installed I believe
Indeed that demo has design to remove the date, author an comment count on all modules
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_what/
So enabling them in the theme panel will not do anything. In this case either remove the condition form the demo stylesheet

Or override it with a different code in Theme panel->Custom CSS
– https://www.screencast.com/t/vVZ1skCM
.td-what .td_module_wrap .td-post-author-name,
.td-what .td-big-grid-post .td-post-author-name,
.td-what .td_module_wrap .td-post-date,
.td-what .td-big-grid-post .td-post-date,
.td-what .td_module_wrap .td-module-comments,
.td-what .td-big-grid-post .td-module-comments {
display: inline-block;
}
The better way would be to remove the code from the demo stylesheet instead of using additional code.
Hello, I apologize I don’t think I have a demo installed. Anyway my website is: http://beforethecyborgs.com/ if you would like to take a look and possibly tell me how I can get the author, date and review metadata to show up on every block/post on the homepage.
Your assistance is much appreciated as I am completely lost here!
I see that most of your posts have reviews, note that the review stars will replace the author name and date by default. There is a setting in the theme panel to display the author name and date instead of review stars on blocks/modules
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8IsMzelgA
Then if the author name and also the date are enabled they will be displayed.
OK but two more questions (thanks so much btw)
1. why is the metadata not appearing in my non-review posts then? (ie all those under the features)
2. Is there any way to get it to show all three metadata at once? If not can I adjust it to show different metadata in each individual module/block?
Thanks
Before that option was introduced there was no choice to make. When a post had reviews the review stars would appear in the modules replacing the other meta. Now that can be controlled by a general setting, the one in the theme panel.
I believe it is a design choice to display either the review stars or the other meta. This option could be added as an option in the tagDiv composer for each block in a future update.
