Display tags as metadata on blog page

Recommended Posts

Site URL: http://sarahs.co.uk/products

Hey there,

On my website, I am using blog posts to showcase affiliate links. You can view all the post thumbnails and the title, and when you click it, you are taken to another website. We want to show the Tags on the blog page, but the only options are categories, date, and author. Is there a way to make it so that I can display the tags?

Thanks in advance!
Seth

I'm also looking to put the metadata below the blog title...

Add the following to Blog Settings > Advanced > Page Header Code Injection for the blog page.

<style>

  /*
  
    move blog listing item title above meta
    
    Version    : 0.1d0
    
    SS Version : 7.1
    
    By         : Thomas Creedon < http://www.tomsWeb.consulting/ >
    
    */
    
    .blog-basic-grid .blog-basic-grid--text {
    
      display : -webkit-box;
      display : -ms-flexbox;
      display : flex;
      
      -webkit-box-orient : vertical;
      -webkit-box-direction : normal;
      -ms-flex-direction : column;
      flex-direction : column;
      
      grid-gap : 0.25rem;
      
      }
      
    .blog-basic-grid .blog-meta-section {
    
      margin-bottom : 20px;
      
      }
      
    .blog-basic-grid .blog-title {
    
      margin-bottom : 0;
      
      -webkit-box-ordinal-group : 0;
      -ms-flex-order : -1;
      order : -1;
      
      }
      
  </style>

This is for v7.1.

Let us know how it goes.

Unfortunately SS does not expose the tag info to the blog listing page.

There are other ways to get at the tag data but the big question is can those methods be made reasonably performant. At worst the methods would slow down the overall loading speed of the blog listing page.
