Changing the "Author" and "Edit"

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello
    Is it possible to have the name of the author of the articles and the function ‘Edit’ at the head of the articles instead of being at the end as is the case right now?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Are you talking about on the front page, or on the single post pages, or both? The way that Academica is designed, we can move all the entry meta at the bottom of the post to the top of the content area, but not just part of it.

    Hello.
    I want to speak for all the articles (the author of the publications and the option “Edit” to edit my articles) I wish it to be at the top of the headlines.

    Thanks for the clarification. On your main blog, category, archive and tag pages, the edit link is at the top of the post below the post title. In Academica, the author is not shown on those pages and there is no way to add it to those pages.

    For the single post pages, such as this one, I have a couple options for you. This first option moves only the author and the edit link to the top above the title.

    .single #content {
    	position: relative;
    }
    .single .column-content .by-author {
    	position: absolute;
    	top: 20px;
    }
    .single .column-content .post-edit-link {
    	position: absolute;
    	top: 20px;
    	left: 70px;
    }

    This second option moves the entire entry meta section from the bottom to the top above the title.

    .single #content {
    	position: relative;
    }
    .single .column-content .entry-meta {
    	position: absolute;
    	top: 20px;
    }
    .single #content .title-header {
    	padding-top: 25px;
    }

    Try both of these and let me know.

    Thank you for your reply. I took the second option.
    Is it possible to magnify a little bit the title of the articles, the name of the author and the option “Edit” as shown in my screenshot?

    Hi, that’s great. For the single post pages, replace the two CSS rules I had given earlier with the following.

    .single .column-content .by-author {
    	position:absolute;
    	top:25px;
    	font-size: 120%;
    }
    .single .column-content .post-edit-link {
    	position:absolute;
    	top:25px;
    	left:160px;
    	font-size: 120%;
    }

    If you increase the font size more than what I have, you may have to adjust the “left” value in the second CSS rule so that the two don’t overlap.

    For the post titles on your main page, add the following and you can adjust the 150% font size as desired.

    .posts .sticky h2, .posts .post h2 {
    	font-size: 150%;
    }

    Hello !!
    I forgot to ask if it was possible to replace “By” -> English with “Par” -> French?
    And to put the name of the author in red to replace the orange?

    Hi, I checked and the French translation for Academica is only at 80%, and we don’t activate translations until it reaches 85%. You can help with that, if you are interested, to get it over 85%, which would then get it deployed. If you are interested in helping out, you can see this site for how to get started: https://translate.wordpress.com.

    With the way that the CSS and HTML are structured, I don’t see a way to change “By” to Par.

    I will see that. Thank you
