Hoe to remove Comments count from entry header

[Dan Merry]

Hello wonderful people of this forum.

Can you please tell me how to remove this: http://screencast.com/t/82JzELhARBW

I'm using BG Endless theme

Thank in advance for any advice.

Add this code to your functions file and remove the post comments shortcode. http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/entry-header/#customize

Thanks brad, that code remove it, but it removed the author link too which I don't want to remove.
Is there a way to remove just the section of Comment Count?
Thanks again.

[Brad Dalton]

Leave the author shortcode in there.

Only remove the post comments shortcode.

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
	$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]';
	return $post_info;
}

For those who are less code savvy, a solid solution would be the Genesis Simple Edits plugin developed by the same people who developed Genesis which contains a field titled Entry Meta (above content) where you can remove [post_comments]. I prefer Brad's solution, but for the less code-savvy folks, this works very well.

Thank you very much Brad!

I have this code in the funtion.php with the [post_comments] removed

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry header
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
	$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link]';
	return $post_info;
}

But I still have the comments count in there 🙁

This is the site I'm working on if any of you want to take a look to see whats going on: http://contradicciones.wpsetup.xyz/derechos-humanos-de-los-ninos/

Thanks you Mike for your replay, I'm trying to accomplish this without a plugin.

[Brad Dalton]

Do you also have the Genesis Simple Edits plugin installed?

I performed a local install of BG Endless theme to test and can confirm Dan's findings. The code doesn't seem to work. I then installed & activated Genesis Simple Edits and pulled the comment shortcode and that did the trick. I know you don't want another plugin but thought I would let you know what I found.

[Brad Dalton]

Just tested the code and it works https://youtu.be/xYWe5xbBWh0

Cannot test on your theme as its not a StudioPress theme and don't have a copy however i think your functions file must already include a filter function using the same hook which you'll need to modify or remove.

Thank you very much guys, your help is appreciated. Finally I resolved using the plugin.
Thanks again 🙂

Thanks for the update Dan. And Brad, thank you for the hint! This issue is in the functions.php file on or around line 120-121 I found the following code:

$post_info = '[post_date] // [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;

All you have to do is remove [post_comments]. That leaves you with the following:

$post_info = '[post_date] // [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;

This seemed to solve the issue on my test install with the BG Endless theme.

Thanks Mike!
