Hello,

I have the custom post types plugin and want to show the author of the post on just one post type. I’ve found another forum thread here to help me show the post author:

I’ve added the following code to the geodirectory_template_actions.php in wp-content/plugins/geodirectory file
```
<br>Listed by <?php the_author(); ?><br>
```
However I’m stuck on trying to figure out an if statement that helps me only show this code for certain post types (specifically places). Any suggestions

Hi,

you shouldn’t modify the plugin file, or you’ll lose changes after every update. You should use actions and filters to add it to the template via code snippets plugin or a child theme functions.php file.

Where do you want to add it?

This is the conditional tag for the CPT:
```
if ( ‘gd_place’ == get_post_type() ) {// code here }
```
Thanks
