Move Entry Footer Post Meta To Entry Header & Entry Header Post Info To Entry Footer

This code enables you to reposition the category & tag links in your entry footer to your entry header and move the comments, author and date links from your entry header to the entry footer.

Here’s the before & after shots.

This solution is based on this question from a member of the Genesis community:

Ideally, I would like categories in the header, and the date, byline, and comments in the footer.

Here’s the code you need to add to your child themes functions file using a code editor, not the WordPress theme editor under the Appearance menu in your Dashboard.

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

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_info' );

If you need to conditionally reposition either the post info or post meta to or from the entry header and entry footer, here’s the PHP code to do that.
