Different category functions

[sinoun]

I don't know if this is possible, but does anyone know how I can just make the date show on a post for 1 category? I have 3 categories for my blog posts. I only want the dates to show on the post page for 1 specific category.

If anyone has any insight, that would be awesome! Where and what code do I need to change?

I'm using the Minimum theme if this helps.

Thank you so much!

Link to your site please.

The code is already provided by StudioPress.

You can simply add a conditional tag after the function in the code to remove the date from all posts in all except one category.

Thank you very much for the reply, Brad. But if I knew how to customize the code and conditional code, I probably wouldn't have asked how to make these changes.

I didn't include a link because my site is still under construction and it's not live. Also, I didn't see why anyone would need to see the site to help with this particular request.

To all who needs to customize the way I asked, I did some more digging and found this to be very helpful: http://www.wpstuffs.com/remove-dates-for-posts-in-particular-category-genesis-framework/

Essentially just copy and paste this code and insert your own categories in the 'cat-1' and 'cat-2' areas:

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
  if( in_category( array('cat-1','cat-2') )) {
  		$post_info = 'Posted by [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	}
	else {
		$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author]  [post_comments] [post_edit]';
	}
  return $post_info;
}

I should also note that this will conflict with Genesis Simple Edits plugin so use one ore the other. Hope that helps others!

You can also do exactly the same thing using CSS where you can grab the specific classes using Firebug and add the display: none; declaration.
