Author Name in Grid View

[TheZorro]

Hey!

I have a little question: We are using Grid Elements with VC for a blog like you do in your example. The problem is now that Grid Elements provides the option so show the title, date and the excerpt when someone hover overs a picture but not the author of the post.

We wanted to include this but the only option I found is adding a “Custom Fields” to the list in Grid Elements. The problem is that I don’t know what to add in the field: “Field key name – Enter custom field name to retrieve meta data value” in order to get the name of the author who’s post the grid is showing.

I’ve tried to do that on my own sites. The issue is that the meta field only holds the authors ID, not the actual name. :/

So there is no solution for that problem? It is a little bit absurd do be able to show the date of a post but not the author…

I agree. The Kleo Posts shortcode shows the author.

@abe – Can you find out from VC or do you know of a way to display the author in a VC post grid?

Any update? I don’t if this is a big issue for other but it would be great to know if there will be a solution or not (or if there already is one) 😉

Hello, I am working on adding it as a VC element. Will keep you posted. Sorry for the late reply.
