No space between “Category:” label and category

[Donna Green]

Hi

Please can someone tell me which file to edit to amend the metadata text on a single blog post? The bit just under the blog post title which says “Published on” etc?

There is white space missing between “Category:” and the actual name of the category that is really bugging me!

I would like to edit the single post .php file but I’m not sure which file it is.

Thank you
Donna

Hi Donna Green,

Add this code on child theme functions.php file:

function puresimple_posted_on() {
	$time_string = '%2$s';
	if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
		$time_string .= '%4$s';
	}

	$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
	);

	$posted_on = sprintf(
		_x( 'Published on: %s', 'post date', 'puresimple' ),
		'' . $time_string . ''
	);

	$byline = sprintf(
		_x( 'by %s', 'post author', 'puresimple' ),
		'' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . ''
	);

	echo '' . $posted_on . ' ' . $byline . '';
//show category on blog page
	if(get_theme_mod('hide_category_on_blog_page') !== '' && is_home()){echo '&nbsp'.'' .__('Category:','puresimple').'&nbsp'.get_the_category_list(__( ', ', 'puresimple' )).'';}
//show category on single post
	if(get_theme_mod('hide_category_on_single_post') !== '' && is_single()){echo '&nbsp'.'' .__('Category:','puresimple').'&nbsp'.get_the_category_list(__( ', ', 'puresimple' )).'';}
	if ( ! post_password_required() && ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) ) { 
        echo '';
            echo '';
                _e( ' ', 'puresimple' );
                comments_popup_link( __( 'Comment', 'puresimple' ), __( '1 Comment', 'puresimple' ), __( '% Comments', 'puresimple' ) ); 
            }
        echo '';
  
}

Note: Please proceed this steps only if you are technically sound on WordPress otherwise you will be in trouble.
