Is there a way to move the post date from the header to the footer? If so, how do I do this? I have yet to be able to figure out how to successfully do so.

It seems possible to do this if you edit the code, but the interface doesn't give you the option.

If you're brave enough to edit the code, it's in the 'content' php files and looks like:

'before' => theme_get_metadata_icons( 'date,author,edit', 'header' ),
'content' => theme_get_excerpt(),
'after' => theme_get_metadata_icons( 'category,tag,comments', 'footer'


To move the items around, just move the word like so:

'before' => theme_get_metadata_icons( 'author,edit', 'header' ),
'content' => theme_get_excerpt(),
'after' => theme_get_metadata_icons( 'date,category,tag,comments', 'footer'

If you aren't a code person, I suggest making a duplicate copy of your template to test it on.

Hi BP,

After moving the date from 'header' to 'footer' is there away to make the footer display 2 lines? Currently the metadata will display as 1 line only.

Thank you
