Post Meta
Post Meta includes the Post Date and Post Author. This information can be displayed on 1 line, 2 lines and positioned as needed. It can also be hidden entirely. The Post Date and Post Author can be hidden independently as well.
The Date Format is set to Human Readable by default. This means it will show the number of minutes, days, or years. The Date setting will show the traditional WordPress standard date display.
There is an option to show the Published or Modified date for posts. If you want the date the post was first published to show, use the default Published option. If you’d like to display a new date each time a post is updated, choose Modified.
The Date Link Color and Author Link Color can use the Global Color from Site Content or a Custom Palette Color. The Custom settings also change the Text and Hover Style.

How can I change the Previous and Next post links to only show posts from the current category.
Brandon says:
Hi Linda,
I don’t believe there is a native way to do this Crio but you if you are using the Premium BoldGrid Post and Page Builder plugin there is a post list block that you can add to your pages that will allow you to incorporate a similar functionality. You can also use a plugin like Related Posts for WordPress to add related posts to your content. I hope this helps!
Shay says:
How can I hyperlink the menu page to redirect to a website URL?
Brandon says:
Hi Shay,
You can add a new “Custom Link” menu item and set its URL to the URL of the page you would like to link to.
Shay says:
How do I get to it? Do I create the page first?
Brandon says:
Yes the page should be created first and once it is you can copy/paste the page URL into the URL section of the menu item.
Torben says:
Hello! My featured image is not a clickable link. How do I make the featured image click through to the blog post? Thank you!
Brandon says:
Hi Torben, are you sure you are viewing your featured image from the blog post page? If you don’t mind starting a new Support Forum thread and including the URL to your blog page we could take a look at that for you.
Mathias says:
I am having a problem with Read More Links and a multilingual site. I use WMPL for translation and it works quite well. But I can’t manage to set different Texts for different languages. When I change to the second language, the Text of the Button is shown in the first language.
This is very annoying, is there a solution?
Jesse says:
Hi Mathias-
Since WPML is a commercial plugin, I don’t have a copy to test it out. I’ve reached out to them so we can work together to make sure that our themes are compatible.
That being said, this solution on the WPML Forums looks like it should work. You can search for the “Read More” string in the “crio” domain and set your translations in the WPML > Theme and Plugins Localization > Strings in the Theme menu.

I am having problems changing the post meta color (date and author) on the post itself. I can change post meta on the blog pages in the design/blog pages/Links/Post Meta and in the blog previews but when I click on the post page the meta is the same color as the background.
Jesse says:
Hi Mickey-
The Meta Link color is controlled by the first Palette Color in the Customize -> Colors menu.
Customizer controls for setting up a custom post meta color is a premium feature available in Crio Pro. You can also change these in your Customize -> CSS/JS Editor using a css rule similar to this:
.post-meta a { color: black; }
