cascadingstyles

Hi @bcworkz Thanks for your reply. While searching for the correct meta key, I found this post. I was able to fix the problem using this code:

case 'author':
	$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="author' . $preview . '">' . get_the_author_posts_link() . '</span>';
	break;

Thanks again for your support!

Hi @bcworkz Thank you so much for your reply. It looks like the function is indeed pluggable, in which case, does that mean I can just copy paste it into functions.php of my child theme? I will try this in any case.

Here is the whole function:

if ( ! function_exists( 'basic_get_postmeta' ) ):
	function basic_get_postmeta() {

		$default_meta_list = get_theme_mod( 'postmeta_list', 
						   apply_filters( 'basic_postmeta_list_defaults', array( 'date', 'category', 'comments' ) )
						  );
		$default_meta_list = ! is_array( $default_meta_list ) ? explode( '_', $default_meta_list ) : $default_meta_list;

		$meta_list           = apply_filters( 'basic_post_meta_list', $default_meta_list );
		$displayed_meta_list = $meta_list;

		if ( is_customize_preview() ) {
			$all       = array_merge( $meta_list, array( 'date', 'category', 'comments', 'tags', 'author' ) );
			$meta_list = array_unique( $all );
		}

		if ( empty( $meta_list ) ) {
			return;
		}

		$meta_html = array();

		foreach ( $meta_list as $meta ) {
			$preview = ( ! in_array( $meta, $displayed_meta_list ) ) ? ' hide' : '';
			switch ( $meta ) {
				case 'date':
					$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="date' . $preview . '">' . get_the_time( get_option( 'date_format' ) ) . '</span>';
					break;
				case 'author':
					$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="author' . $preview . '"><a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url', $author_id) . '">' . get_the_author() . '</a></span>';
					break;
				case 'category':
					$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="category' . $preview . '">' . get_the_category_list( ', ' ) . '</span>';
					break;
				case 'comments':
					$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="comments' . $preview . '"><a href="' . get_comments_link() . '">' . __( 'Comments', 'basic' ) . ': ' . get_comments_number() . '</a></span>';
					break;
				case 'tags':
					$meta_html[ $meta ] = '<span class="tags' . $preview . '">' . get_the_tag_list( __( 'Tags: ', 'basic' ), ', ' ) . '</span>';
					break;
			}
		}
		$meta_html = apply_filters( 'basic_post_meta_list_html', $meta_html );

		$html = '';
		foreach ( $meta_list as $meta ) {
			$html .= ( array_key_exists($meta,$meta_html) ) ? $meta_html[ $meta ] : '';
		}

		$html = apply_filters( 'basic_post_meta_html', $html );

		echo '<aside class="meta">';
		do_action( 'basic_post_meta_before_first' );

		echo $html;

		do_action( 'basic_post_meta_after_last' );
		echo '</aside>';
	}
endif;
add_action( 'basic_after_post_title', 'basic_get_postmeta', 10 );

Thanks again.
