Two CSS problems
-
First question is how do you get the Author ( “Posted by” ) to the top of the post where the post date is located?
Second question is how do you put the “older/Previous Posts” link on the bottom of the blog? -
The Older Posts link should automatically show up. If you don’t see it, it’s not a CSS issue, it’s a bug and there are several threads in the forum on it lately.

Im designing with sandbox, I thought you could do something as simple as this with sandbox.
-
Which version of Sandbox are you using? There is a list of all of the core styles in the older Sandbox here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/sandbox-theme-css-styles-for-you-to-style?replies=1
And nothing about CSS is simple.
I believe the posted by is in the nav-above.
And the previous/next is in the .nav-previous and .nav-next

There are two versions of Sandbox in your dashboard. There are differences between the two. And both have some embedded styles.
-
solved the previous/next issue with using
.home #nav-above {
display:none;
}
.home .navigation {
display:show;
}still having the author thing problem though. I really want the authors name to be at the top of the post. When reviewing the sandbox themes from the sandbox competition to find answers, I notice none of them had the authors title on the top of the post, so maybe it can’t be done with CSS.
-
You still haven’t said which of the two Sandbox versions you are using.
If it is the old version, you have to turn on the .nav-above and then use the .entry-author.
-
yeah, the design was just called Sandbox, the one that’s not Sandbox 1.0, I don’t know how else to call it. and entry-author didn’t work, that’s unless I’m using it wrong, but IDK
What would I put within the .entry-author class to position it at the top of the post near the date. I tried using “margin” and even “position:top” but no luck. -
OK, that is the older version of Sandbox, which is what I use.
Post the code here that you tried.
-
I tried this
.entry-author { display: show; font-size: 10px; margin-top: 10px; color: blue;}
I also have this is my css, which I also tried and it didn’t work
.home .author {
padding-right:10px; display: show;
} -
-
its still doesn’t work. The .nav-above only shows the “older posts” link to appear below the navigation menu.
-
Try div#nav-above. I know I had to turn that off (display:none) to keep the meta data from showing up at the top of the post.
-
not working, but maybe if I could move the meta data to the top and somehow make the meta data only show the authors name???
-
Ah, I just looked at the link I mentioned above and played with it on my blog – you are correct that the nav-above only relates to page navigation. (I knew I put it in there for a reason on my single page but couldn’t remember why.)
Maybe it can’t be done.
