I really like the Big Grids that show one large thumbnail for the newest post, and then smaller thumbnails for the last couple…but is there a way to have the author name show on the smaller thumbnails? Right now it shows on the big one, but not on the others. Like Big Grid Full 9 for example. Thanks!

Hi,

It could be done by making some modification to the modules that the Big grid 9 for example is using. You can identify the module used using the browser inspector

Now you need to go and edit the respective modules in the theme files. The big module (mx19) already has the author name and date displayed and in it’s structure

The other module types used do not have it ( mx26 and mx25) so you could copy the code from the previous module in them as well

Now the modules in the Big grid 9 should display the author name and date

Awesome, thank you Simion. What editor are you using there?

Hi,

Glad it worked for you, we are using the PhpStorm editor.

Thanks
