Using the functions within template

  • Trying to use the functions from the template-tags.php file and dont get any output. Is this the right way to use?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I’ve tried other functions like the get_the_coauthor_meta or the_coauthor_meta and nothing seems to happen except the ‘array’ output. What am I missing?

    
 <?php if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_links_single' ) ) 
     { coauthors_links_single(); } 
        else { 
           the_author_posts_link(); 
 } ?>

    Ok. I totally went about this the wrong way. If anyone has similar issues. Instead directly putting them in my template. I put it in my functions file.

    
    if ( ! function_exists( 'jemma_ev_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
 */
function jemma_ev_posted_on() {

    if ( function_exists( 'coauthors_posts_links' ) ) :
        printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'jemma_ev' ),
            'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
            sprintf( '<span class="entry-date">%3$s</span>',
                get_permalink(),
                esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
                get_the_date()
            ),
            coauthors_posts_links( null, null, null, null, false )
        );
    else:
        printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'jemma_ev' ),
            'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
            sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
                get_permalink(),
                esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
                get_the_date()
            ),
            sprintf( '<span class="article-author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
                get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
                esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'jemma_ev' ), get_the_author() ) ),
                get_the_author()
            )
        );
    endif;
}

endif;

    and within my content.php file I just called the function where I needed it, like so

    
    jemma_ev_posted_on();
