I can't test it at the moment, but if all you want is the Edit link, this should work too:</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() { if (current_user_can(&#39;edit_posts&#39;)) { thematic_postfooter_posteditlink(); } }</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect-1#post-20678 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 02:10:49 +0000 helgatheviking 20678@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>hmmm... could be one that got missed. not sure if that is correct or not. </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect-1#post-20677 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 00:58:53 +0000 umberto 20677@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Helga - had tried that with no change. </p> <p>On a hunch I added the apply filters line and it actually worked (with or without the period) which was unexpected as I was under the impression that this wasn't necessary with an override:</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() {// Display edit link on single posts if (current_user_can(&#39;edit_posts&#39;)) { $postconnect .= &#39; &#39; . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink(); } return apply_filters(&#39;thematic_postfooter_postconnect&#39;,$postconnect); }</code></pre> <p>Is that standard procedure or is something amiss elsewhere? </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect-1#post-20674 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 23:57:27 +0000 helgatheviking 20674@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>try removing the period just before the equal sign</p> <pre><code>$postconnect = &#39; &#39; . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink();</code></pre> <p>typically that means 'add this to the end' but you usually have to start w/ a simple = </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect-1#post-20651 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 08:23:39 +0000 umberto 20651@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hi - I'm trying to get this override to work. Just wanting the edit link, but code below seems to remove everything including the link.</p> <pre><code>function childtheme_override_postfooter_postconnect() { if (current_user_can(&#39;edit_posts&#39;)) { $postconnect .= &#39; &#39; . thematic_postfooter_posteditlink(); } }</code></pre> <p>Appreciate any tips </p>
