Genesis Child Theme Modifying Comments display

Question

I'm using a theme which works with Genesis Framework. The theme is called pinsomo & I'm wondering how to "move" comments count div to the bottom of the post.

Here is the demo: [[link has expired]]

You see the comment icon next to the title. I want to move it to the heart icon.

You can use the genesis_post_info and genesis_post_meta filters in your child theme rather than modify the parent theme frameworks files which will be lost when you update Genesis.

Remove comments link from post info

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'remove_post_info_comments_link' );

function remove_post_info_comments_link($post_info) {

$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}

Add comments link to post meta

add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'add_comments_post_meta' );

function add_comments_post_meta($post_meta) {

$post_meta = '[post_categories] [post_tags] [post_comments]';
return $post_meta;
}

Note: This code only works with themes running HTML 5 markup.
