Thank you again! ??

More like an “educated guess”! ??

.comments-link { display: inline; }

That worked, perfectly, bc!!! Thank you soooooo much! ??

It is exactly how I wanted it now!

And, here is the code, currently:

/** Custom: Custom meta information */

if ( ! function_exists( 'twentytwelve_entry_meta' ) ) :
/**
 * Set up post entry meta.
 *
 * Prints HTML with meta information for current post: categories, tags, permalink, author, and date.
 *
 *
 * @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
 */
function twentytwelve_entry_meta() {
	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );

	$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',
		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() )
	);

	$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',
		esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
		esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentytwelve' ), get_the_author() ) ),
		get_the_author()
	);

	// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( 'Posted in %1$s | Tagged %2$s <span class="by-author"></span>', 'twentytwelve' );
	} elseif ( $categories_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( 'Posted in %1$s <span class="by-author"></span>', 'twentytwelve' );
	} else {
		$utility_text = __( 'Posted in %1$s | Tagged %2$s <span class="by-author"></span>', 'twentytwelve' );
	}

	printf(
		$utility_text,
		$categories_list,
		$tag_list,
		$date,
		$author
	);

if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
   &nbsp;| <div class="comments-link">
     <?php comments_popup_link( '<span class="leave-reply">' . __( 'Leave a reply', 'twentytwelve' ) . '</span>', __( '1 Reply', 'twentytwelve' ), __( '% Replies', 'twentytwelve' ) ); ?>
   </div><!-- .comments-link -->
<?php endif; // comments_open()

}
endif;

I believe I did it exactly as you suggested. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi bcworkz,
Thank you so much for the reply!

The integration of the code worked just fine; however, the Leave a reply link is still showing up below the categories and tags:

Posted in Opinion | Tagged Constitutional |
Leave a reply

I was hoping to have them all on the same line, as such:

Posted in Opinion | Tagged Constitutional | Leave a reply

Marc

??

Thank you so much, implenton! It worked perfectly!!! ??

Here is the final result:

<!-- Custom: If single post... -->
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
  <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

  <?php if ( in_category( array('Political Cartoons', 'Political Statements') ) ) : ?>

     <u>Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>

  <?php elseif ( in_category( array('Scripture', 'Biblical', 'Biblical Resources', 'Quotes', 'Holidays/Anniversaries', 'Article', 'Political', 'Political Literature', 'Political Terms', 'Admin') ) ) : ?>

    <u>Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>

  <?php else : ?>

    <u>Written by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> | <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> </u>

  <?php endif; ?>  

<?php endif; // is_single() ?>

<!-- Custom: If not single post... -->
<?php if (! is_single() ) : ?>  

  <h1 class="entry-title">
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
  </h1>
  <u>Posted <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></u>  

<?php endif; // is_single() ?>

I think I know exactly what I need now, but I think I am going to start over with a new post.

Actually, that did not resolve it! ??

That only worked for the meta data on the Home Page. I am trying to get that above code – or the Twenty Twelve similar code – to work in the single.php file.

I think I might have solved it myself!

I replaced:
twentyeleven_posted_on
with
twentytwelve_entry_meta

And, using Find and Replace, I changed every instance of twentyeleven, in the above code, to twentytwelve.

It appears to be working! ?? I may need to just do a tweak here and there.

My coding may not have been perfect, but it worked exactly how I wanted it to.

Michael,
This is what I used in my Twenty Eleven Child Theme:

if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyeleven_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post-date/time and author.
 * Create your own twentyeleven_posted_on to override in a child theme
 *
 * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0
 */

function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
    if ( in_category( array('Political Cartoons', 'Political Statements' ) )) {
        // Custom:
        // Note: Remove (printf) code from between quotes, to make blank; otherwise:
        // If the category is one of the above, write out Post date (ONLY).
        printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted </span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></span>', 'twentyeleven' ),
            esc_url( get_permalink() ),
            esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
            esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
            esc_html( get_the_date() )
        );
    }
    elseif ( in_category( array('Scripture', 'Biblical', 'Biblical Resources', 'Quotes', 'Holidays/Anniversaries', 'Article', 'Political Literature', 'Political Terms') )) {
        // If the category is one of the above, use Posted by.
        printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted by<span class="by-author"></span> <span class="author vcard"><a href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span><span class="sep"> | </span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></span>', 'twentyeleven' ),
                esc_url( get_permalink() ),
                esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
                esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
                esc_html( get_the_date() ),
                esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
                esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), get_the_author() ) ),
                get_the_author()
        );
}
    else {
        // All other categories, use Written by
        printf( __( '<span class="sep">Written by<span class="by-author"></span> <span class="author vcard"><a href="%5$s" title="%6$s" rel="author">%7$s</a></span><span class="sep"> | Posted </span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></span>', 'twentyeleven' ),
            esc_url( get_permalink() ),
            esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
            esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
            esc_html( get_the_date() ),
            esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
            esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), get_the_author() ) ),
            get_the_author()
        );
    }
}
endif;

Which I would like to replicate in Twenty Twelve.

Oh, I just had the meta information printing out a certain way for different categories.

Yes, I’m in the functions.php file of my Twenty Twelve Child Theme.

It could also be that there is a conflict in some other part of the code I am using. It worked fine in Twenty Eleven, but something may not be jiving in Twenty Twelve. I may need to recreate the entire thing.

Actually, I have already tried that, and it didn’t work for me. ??
