Show more details for Featured Content galleries

If you are using the Featured Content addon and would like to add additional information to your output (such as author, date, category, or taxnomy information) you can do that through a filter provided in the plugin. This requires you to be a little familiar with WordPress coding but we can help walk you through how to do that!

Adding the snippet

First, you’ll need to be sure you have the Featured Content addon installed and active, then add the following code snippet to your site.

For more details on adding custom code like this, you can check out our guide on adding custom PHP or JavaScript to your site.

/* Adding Date, Author, Category, Taxonomy To Featured Content output

 */

function envira_fc_date_terms( $content, $posts, $data, $post ) {
if ( isset($data['config']['id']) && !empty($data['config']['id']) ) {
$gallery = get_post( intval( $data['config']['id'] ) );
}

    // Build date and taxonomy terms content
    $additional_content =       
     '<div class="envira-fc-author-name">'
        . __( 'Posted by: ', 'envira-featured-content-date-terms' ) . get_the_author() . '
     </div>' .
     '<div class="envira-fc-date">'
        . __( 'Published on ', 'envira-featured-content-date-terms' ) . get_the_date( 'dS F Y', $post->ID ) . ' 
     </div>' .
     '<div class="envira-fc-category"> '
        . __( 'in ', 'envira-featured-content-date-terms' ) . get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'category', 'Categories: ', ', ' ) . '
    </div>';

    switch ( $data['config']['gallery_column_title_caption'] ) {
        case 'title':
            $content['title'] = $content['title'] . ' ' . $additional_content;
            break;
        case 'title_caption':
            $content['title'] = $content['title'] . ' ' . $additional_content;
            break;
        default:
            $content['caption'] = $content['caption'] . ' ' . $additional_content;
            break;
    }

    // Return content
    return $content;     
}

add_filter( 'envira_featured_content_image', 'envira_fc_date_terms', 1, 5 );
