Hi All,

Using Buildr template and wanted to add 'written by' to the author field in blog posts. I can't find any info on how to do this. I looked into language overrides but I didn't find it there.

I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just missing.

Any help would be great!

Is 'show author' enabled?

Go to articles. In upper right corner, click options...

Thanks, Blueshift,

Yes, I had show author enabled but it only shows the authors name. I wanted it to say 'written by' and then the authors name but I can't figure out where to put the 'written by' text.

I would grok it in custom css. I don't see a link to your site, but if the author name class was (say, '.author-name') then:

.author-name::before {
  content: "Written by";
  padding-right: 4px;
  <other declarations such as color, etc. can be added here>
}

I don't know the class used by the template, but adding the ::before will stick this in front of it.

That's a good idea! I'll try that with CSS.

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it,
