Customizing Post Meta

[mtombs]

I'm using the Metro Pro Theme.

At the moment each post shows post meta for category and tag archives. This means, for example, that on the archive page for a particular category each post is followed by a link to the same page. I'm trying to avoid these self-referencing links.

What I want is:

For each individual post to show the Category and Tag link.
For posts on a category archive page to just show the tag link.
For posts on a tag archive page to just show the category link.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,
Michael

Dear Sridhar,

Many thanks for that.

I tried using the code and it didn't work. Then I started disabling my plugins to see if that helped. As soon as I disabled Genesis Simple Edits the code worked a treat.

Is there some way that I can still use Simple Edits with this code? Or, if not, is there a way that I can change the default 'Filed under' and 'Tagged with' text and still use the code. I tried inserting this into my functions.php file, but as soon as I did your code stopped working:

`//* Customize the post meta function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
$post_meta = '[post_categories before="Category: "] [post_tags before="Tag: "]';
return $post_meta;
}}

Is there any way round this?

Michael

Dear Sridhar,

I've been able to modify your code a little to get exactly what I want. I have disabled the Simple Edits Plugin, and modified your code to:

//* Customize the post meta function to show Tags on Category pages, Categories on Tag archives and both Tags and Categories on single Posts and views other than static Pages
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sk_post_meta_filter' );
function sk_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {

	if ( is_category() ) {
		$post_meta = '[post_tags before="NEW TEXT: "]';
	}
	elseif ( is_tag() ) {
		$post_meta = '[post_categories before="NEW TEXT: "]';
	}
	elseif ( !is_page() ) {
		$post_meta = '[post_categories before="NEW TEXT: "][post_tags before="NEW TEXT: "]';
	}
	return $post_meta;

}

This has allowed me to modify the default ‘Filed under’ and ‘Tagged with’ text.

Many thanks for your help.
