I'm new here, and I've just published my first post. It's a repost from somewhere else. I've added the canonical_url in frontmatter, but my post doesn't say "originally published at" in the author line.
I'm sure I'm missing something, how do I add that line to my author tag for the post?
Here is an example of how it looks for other people. https://dev.to/huijing/organising-talkcss-consistently-anyhowly-1kcd

Is the article you posted coming from a RSS feed?
it's not. wrote a new post and used the canonical_url field in frontmatter.

That's why. "Originally published" appears only with crossposts from the RSS feed
Thanks
@rhymes Could you please elaborate how do you create a crosspost from an RSS feed?
Say I have an article on Medium. Where do I get the RSS feed and what do I do next?
Medium RSS are generated by adding
/feedat the end of your medium profile URL. For example, mine ishttps://lakatos.medium.com/feed.After you have your RSS url from Medium, put that in your DEV settings, in the "Extensions" page, under the "Publishing to DEV Community from RSS" section. dev.to/settings/extensions
After you save the feed settings, it will fetch the feed, and your articles will show up as drafts in the DEV Dashboard.
thank you Alex!
Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I was looking for!
I’ve learned most of my tricks from a writing service I’ve used as a student. I was choosing a satire essay topic to publish on my blog and wasn’t sure about this, so I asked edubirdie.com/blog/satire-essay-to... to help out. They really did, so I recommend them dearly.
