jeremycherfas So difficult following the templating logic of a theme made by someone else ...
# jeremycherfas Tempted to copy absolutely everything into a child theme, then work on that, then remove anything that has not changed.
# jeremycherfas Only in as much as you forked the original.
# jeremycherfas I barely need elaborate post kinds, but at the moment it is easier to ignore than to remove.
# jeremycherfas Is there any way in WP of seeing which template-oparts are being used where? Some kind of diagnostic toolbar or something?
# jeremycherfas gwg can you tell me what `iw26_entry_meta()` does? Where it gets the informatuion from? I thought I might find it in your `functions.php` but it does not seem to be there.
# jeremycherfas Well, yes, I worked that out. I wonder where it gets the information because on different content- templates it displays different information.
# jeremycherfas For example, when content-single is part of the home page, the metadata displays the number of comments, but when it is part of a single post page, it displays the date and time.
# jeremycherfas I see that, obviously. What I want to know is where your magic happens. I've looked in all the places I know about.
# jeremycherfas Maybe worth a few more comments in the code? Or actual, you know, documentation?
# jeremycherfas More likely, though, I'll go back to Automonie where I feel I have a better grasp of how things work.
# jeremycherfas Except that Autnomie does not easily support a sidebar.
# jeremycherfas Not on my account, please. But maybe for those qwho come after.
