Hey Daniel,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Please find the response to your inquiries below:

1. How do I add the text “Last Updated:" in front of post date (directly after clock icon)? Fyi I'm using modified date for date source.

You can modify the theme file located at /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php . It should be around line 115.

2. Related Posts are displaying placeholders instead of actual post images. Where do I upload post images to get displayed here (without having image display in body of post)?

In EasyBlog 3.9, we did not enforce "blog images" but in EasyBlog 5, we have now renamed "blog images" to "post covers" and we rely on it heavily to ensure that your blog's look much more elegant than before. To set a post cover, edit your post and click on the "Add Cover" button at the top.

3. How do I move Social Sharing icons from bottom to top of post (directly under the line with date, author, hit count, etc.)?
And I need to make these changes to listings display (e.g., http://www.itcareerfinder.com/brain-food/blog.html):

You can relocate the codes below in the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php (for listings)

		<?php if ($this->params->get('post_social_buttons', true)) { ?>

			<?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/part.socialbuttons', array('post' => $post)); ?>

		<?php } ?>

You can relocate the codes below in the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/entry/default.php (for entry)

            <?php if ($this->entryParams->get('post_social_buttons', true)) { ?>

                <?php echo $this->output('site/blogs/part.socialbuttons', array('post' => $post)); ?>

            <?php } ?>

4. Display full post titles in the 3 featured posts at top of page (currently cuts title off after certain # of words)

Related posts title are not truncated. Perhaps this is a css issue on your end?

5. How do I remove 'post type' icons for all posts? I already turned these off in EB backend, but it didn’t seem to work.
6. How do I remove comment counters for all posts? I already turned these off in EB backend, but it didn’t seem to work.

To turn this off for the listing view, it is done in the menu parameters now. For the entry view, go to settings > layout > post options.

Hope this helps! By the way, may I ask a favor from you that in the future, could you please stick to 1 question per thread? It would be easier for me and my co-workers to be able to address your issues quickly? If you have quite a number of questions on a single post, it would be difficult for us to segregate the support request and it takes a longer time for us to reply since we need to go through each issues.

In a long run, it would be easier for you to keep track of these hacks / tricks too!

1. Exactly how do I modify the '/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php' to show the words "Last Updated" before date? My attempts did not work. `

Thanks,
Daniel
