The tag "by" has gone…

Hello, If you want to make theme modifications it’s best to make a child theme so you don’t loose your changes next time the theme get’s updated.

The code you posted above is trying to print an empty string so nothing will show up. Here is the original function:

function elucidate_byline() {
	printf( __( 'by', 'elucidate' ) . ' ' . '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}

If you want to override the original function in a child them you would just have to remove the bit at the start:

function elucidate_byline() {
	printf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s">%2$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_author() )
	);
}

Thank you.

But, I already replaced the template_tags.php for the original file, and it still empty. Simply, doesn’t show the author name anymore.

What could be wrong now?

Ah ok, how many people have made posts to your website? The theme will only display the byline at all if more than one person has posted.

Chris, you are awsome!

It was exactly this, only one author, but just by now. I expect to have many others.

Thank you very much! It’s working perfectly! =)
