To clearify, this is the original code:
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_comments();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_views();?>
</div>
If i replace the author part with <?php the_author(); ?> i can add a link or icon, but it will look out of place with the other requests of date and commments
