Adding date to grid thumbnails?

You would need to edit the php file — and since it’s not a good idea to modify theme files directly, you would need to first create a child theme.

Hi Cathy,

I’ve somewhat did it for my page, you can see the example here http://omggim.me

I hope you already have your child theme installed. You will need to edit functions.php in your child theme and also add to the CSS in your dashboard.

1. CSS:
– go to your DASHBOARD > APPEARANCE > EDIT CSS
– at the bottom just add the following few lines:

.date-meta {
	background-color: #000;
	opacity: .5;
	filter: alpha(opacity=50);
	position: absolute;
	padding: 5px;
	top: 21px;
	right: 20px;
	color: #FFF;
}

– you will have to play around with your settings such as top, right, I am using the 4-coloumn format, so it might be a bit off for you.

2. functions.php
– Search for pinboard_post_thumbnail, around lines 1495 and replace the entire function with what I have below.

function pinboard_post_thumbnail() {
	if( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>

		<figure class="entry-thumbnail">
            <div class="date-meta"><? echo get_the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) );?></div>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
				<?php the_post_thumbnail( ( pinboard_is_teaser() ? 'teaser-thumb' : 'blog-thumb' ) ); ?>
			</a>
		</figure>
	<?php endif;
}

3. Save and refresh
