Instead of saying "By author" I would like it to say "This post created by author"

Added this to my functions.php file:

=================

function my_postmeta_authorlink() {

    global $authordata;

    $authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('This post created by ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
    $authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. '<a class="url fn n" href="';
    $authorlink .= get_author_posts_url($authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename);
    $authorlink .= '" title="' . __('View all posts by ', 'thematic') . get_the_author() . '">';
    $authorlink .= get_the_author();
    $authorlink .= '</span>';

} // end my_postheader_postmeta
add_filter('thematic_postmeta_authorlink','my_postmeta_authorlink');

=================

Doesn't seem to change. Any tips? Thanks!

Hi,

you forgot:
```
return $authorlink;
```
at the end of your function.

I have been having the same problem filtering the following functions:
- thematic_postmeta_authorlink
- thematic_postmeta_entrydate
- thematic_postmeta_editlink
When I took a look at the source code in library\extensions\content-extensions.php and noticed that the apply_filters calls for each of these functions uses an extra underscore in the filter name. The filter names that currenty work are:
- thematic_post_meta_authorlink
- thematic_post_meta_entrydate
- thematic_post_meta_editlink
Hope this helps.

Similar problem, now resolved by making the underscore from the previous post..

I wanted to change "By" to "Posted by" in the authorlink. Used code below in child theme functions.php. Success

// Function to change language in thematic_post_meta_authorlink

function remove_oldpostmeta() {
remove_action('thematic_postheader', 'thematic_post_meta_authorlink');
}

add_action('init', 'remove_oldpostmeta');

function my_post_meta_authorlink() {

    global $authordata;

    $authorlink = '<span class="meta-prep meta-prep-author">' . __('Posted by ', 'thematic') . '</span>';
    $authorlink .= '<span class="author vcard">'. '<a class="url fn n" href="';
    $authorlink .= get_author_posts_url($authordata->ID, $authordata->user_nicename);
    $authorlink .= '" title="' . __('View all posts by ', 'thematic') . get_the_author() . '">';
    $authorlink .= get_the_author();
    $authorlink .= '</span>';

    return $authorlink;
} 

add_filter('thematic_post_meta_authorlink','my_post_meta_authorlink');

In the code just above, what is the use of the function "remove_oldpostmeta" and "add_action"?

I have tried the code without those lines, and it also works.

Some time a while back, I was under the impression that functions had to be removed before they could be replaced. Maybe that is not true ...
