Genesis uses the terms post info and post meta to describe the post byline (usually appearing under the post title) and the post categories and tags (usually appearing in the post footer).
I always get these muddled up, hence the need for this canonical post about them.
Post Info (Entry Header)
Filter the contents of post info using the following code. The default output is shown, shortcodes can be swapped from info to meta or vice versa.

Hi Craig,
Your blog posts are great and very helpful.
For this one, I think the parameter is missing.
function post_info_filter($post_info) {}function post_info_filter($post_meta) {}Your thoughts?

Hi Thomas, in both cases, you would only need to pass in the parameter if you wanted to modify and return that same parameter (maybe after using a
str_replace()or something like that). Because I’m returning an entirely different$post_info/$post_metaI don’t need to pass in the function parameter (the original).
