Hiding tags and categories on post excerpts on homepage- metric theme

[L_555]

Hi there- I am currently running Metric theme and on the blog homepage I want to hide the 'categories' and 'tags' on the post excerpts as it just looks too busy on the page- any ideas?
Thanks!

I couldn't find any links for entry meta in your entry footer on your home page.

StudioPress have already provided the code to do this: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/entry-footer/#customize

You can control this further by adding the is_home() conditional tag after the function so the code now becomes this:

Note: Only works on HTML 5 themes. Please convert your XHTML markup to HTML 5 or use CSS instead.

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry footer (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( is_home() ) {
	$post_meta = '';
	return $post_meta;
}}

Thanks very much Brad- the page I want to hide the categories and tags on is http://www.suerte-communications.com/marketing-advice/ would this still apply? (Sorry I am a dunce when it comes to this- I am now going to research what the heck xhtml is compared to html5...)

Its just different markup so the CSS is different and renders better as it validates better with less errors.

Change this line in the code:

if ( is_home() ) {

To this:

if ( is_page('marketing-advice') ) {

Or you could use:

if ( is_page_template('page_blog.php') ) {

Or you could simply hide it using CSS in your style sheet which works on your existing XHTML markup:

.page-template-page_blog-php .post-meta {
display: none;
}
