    Hello! Is it possible to update what meta shows up on the attached? Right now it's JUST title and date. But my client is wondering if we can change it to Title and Author. Is this possible?

    That would require the plugin file edit:
    1. Go to WP Admin > Plugins > Plugin File Edit > Select Plugin to Edit > Divi Ultimate Plugin / Divi Ultimate Blog Plugin (not sure which one you're using)
    2. Navigate to blog > du-blog-1.php
    3. Look for line 239: <?php echo esc_html( get_the_time( wp_unslash( et_get_option( 'divi_date_format', 'M j, Y' ) ) ) ); ?>
    4. Replace it with <?php echo the_author_meta( 'user_nicename' , $post->post_author); ?>

    Amazing! Thank you!
    If I place this code there, will it be removed when the plugin updates? Do you have a suggestion to place this code in my Divi site (or child theme) so that it remains there?

    Unfortunately, that can only be done through the plugin file edit.

    You may edit the plugin version to be like * Version: 999.0.0
    **And it will prevent the plugin from getting updates, so that your changes won't be overwritten.

    Hmm... I see. So you see of NO option for me to make these changes (and have them stick) while also allowing for the plugin to update?

    Okay thank you!

    I tried this, but it is putting the site admin (or logged-in user) as the author of all posts (and just making it all lowercase)
    See here:

    Try this instead & see if it works:

    <span style="text-transform: uppercase;"><?php echo the_author_meta( 'display_name' , $post->post_author); ?></span>

    I also added code to make it uppercase.

    Thanks again for all the help It is SO much appreciated. You guys rock.
    Still running into the problem where it just shows all the posts as written by the site owner. Any further ideas as to why this may be?

    That's weird. Tested on my site & seems to work fine.

    What about this:

    <span style="text-transform: uppercase;"><?php echo get_the_author(); ?></span>

    If still not working, kindly check your PM.
