I'm a designer, trying to branch into Child Themes, so bear with me...
I'd like to add an Author Avatar to each post, and position it to the left of the Post Title. I've got the Avatar covered...I just don't know where to find the code to drop it into the Post in the right place.
How would one modify the layout of an individual post using a Child Theme?
Appreciate your time.
i think you could filter the postheader
function child_postheader($postheader){
$postheader = 'avatar' . $postheader;
return $postheader;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'child_postheader' );

Hey, thank you, Helga!
How did I know it would be you that would respond? :)
You are everywhere.
I am struggling to figure out the correct format to use when replacing 'avatar' with my avatar code:
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '37' ); ?>
Any suggestions?

So...to update...
I've got the image appearing, but can't get it to line up to the left of the post title.
As you can see here, it's still above...

Apologies...using your help, Helga, I've figured it out.
Combining your function with my new-found knowledge of the css property 'clear'...
I got it sorted.
Thank you, Helga!
you're welcome. also, since you are 'returning' a value when using filters you don't want to simultaneously use 'echo'. echo spits it out as soon as it encounters what you are echoing... so it might be your avatar code is not being outputted in the right place.
function child_postheader($postheader){
$postheader = get_avatar( get_the_author_email(), '37' ) . $postheader;
return $postheader;
}
add_filter('thematic_postheader', 'child_postheader' );This topic has been closed to new replies.
