When you publish a blog post, WordPress automatically includes a bunch of metadata about the post, such as the date and time it was published, the author’s name, and the post’s title.
You can display all of this meta data in your blog’s theme by adding some code to your theme’s functions.php file. Here’s an example of how to do it:
function my_theme_setup() { add_theme_support( ‘post-meta’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_theme_setup’ );
Once you’ve added this code to your theme, you can access all of the post meta data by calling the post_meta() function:
$posts = get_posts(); $meta = array( ‘date’ => date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’), ‘post_title’ => __( ‘My Post Title’, ‘mytheme’ ), ‘author’ => get_themes()->name(), ‘category’ => get_themes()->cat(), ); foreach ($posts as $post) { // Use the post’s meta data }.
