3 Ways To Move Post Meta Below Post Info in Genesis

I recently saw a forum post with this question:

How to reposition the Post-Meta (Category and Tags) under the Post-Info (Author, Date).

Here’s the answer which includes 3 options. 2 which require code and 1 which uses a plugin:

You can add the Post Meta short codes to the post info field using Simple Edits or PHP code.

Please copy ALL the PHP code from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++

Note: The PHP code works with sites running HTML 5 loop hooks only.

Then you can remove the post meta using Simple edits, Simple Hooks, CSS or PHP.

That’s not the only way to do it with code. This solution is more efficient.

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
add_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_meta', 14 );

The code allows more flexibility especially if you want to reposition conditionally however there’s a simple solution which doesn’t require any code.

Install the Genesis Simple Edits plugin and simply move the short codes from the post meta field to the post info field.

Please note: PHP code which uses the same filter as the Genesis Simple Edits plugin may not work when the plugin is activated so de-activate the plugin if you are using code.
