How to move the post title below content wordpress

To move the post title and meta information to under the content in a WordPress single post

To move the post title and meta information to under the content in a WordPress single post, you will typically need to modify your theme's template files. This can usually be done by editing the single.php file or a similar template file that your theme uses for single posts. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Backup Your Theme

Before making any changes, it’s crucial to back up your theme files. If you're using a child theme, ensure you work within that to avoid losing changes when the parent theme updates.

Step 2: Access Your Theme Files

1. Via WordPress Dashboard:

• Go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
• Locate the single.php file or the appropriate template file for your posts.

1. Via FTP or File Manager:

• Connect to your website using FTP or a file manager provided by your hosting service.
• Navigate to wp-content/themes/your-theme-name/ and find the single.php file or the relevant template file.

Step 3: Modify the Template

1. Locate the Title and Meta Information: In the single.php file, look for the code that displays the post title and meta information. It usually looks something like this:

php

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="post-meta">
    <?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_author(); ?>
</div>

Cut and Paste: Move this code to the position under the content. Look for the content display code, which typically looks like this:

php

<div class="post-content">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

You can move the title and meta code below the content like this:

php

<div class="post-content">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
</div>

<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<div class="post-meta">
    <?php the_date(); ?> | <?php the_author(); ?>
</div>

Step 4: Save Changes

After making the changes, save the file. If you are using the WordPress Theme Editor, click the "Update File" button.

Step 5: Check Your Site

Visit a single post on your site to ensure that the title and meta information now appear below the content as intended.

Additional Notes

• If your theme uses template parts or custom functions to display the title and meta, you might need to adjust those instead.
• If you're not comfortable editing PHP files, consider using a child theme or a custom plugin to ensure your changes are preserved during theme updates.
• Be cautious while editing theme files. A small mistake in PHP syntax can break your site. Always have a backup ready.

Using a Page Builder or Custom Code

If your theme supports a page builder or custom hooks, you might be able to move the title and meta without directly editing code. Check your theme's documentation for options.
