Hook Help

[bburro]

Greetings--

I am trying to remove a couple items from my website, and have been experimenting with the hook/filter process. I have a test site up on my localhost to play with the functions.php but have had no luck.

I would like to understand how to use firebug and chrome inspector to identify the right hook to remove-- I would thing that once I find the right one, a "display: none" on the CSS would make it disappear, and I could move forward to removing it in the functions.php...

Also- what are the advantages of modifying functions.php rather than just using CSS? My thought would be that the code would only need to render the remove_action once, but CSS would have to be rendered in each instance-- after each text-widget, or whatever. If I am correct, Is that the only advantage?

I am trying to remove the "footer .entry-footer" and this didn't work

//* Remove entry footer meta
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_meta', 12 );

I am also trying to remove the ".sidebar .widget::after"

I have used CSS to remove them. How would I correctly apply the hooks...?

Thanks for all your help!

What you are removing is the entry meta (date, author, etc.) from the entry footer area. Use this snippet to remove the entry footer markup: http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/entry-footer/#remove-markup

.sidebar .widget::after is CSS. Before and after are CSS pseudo elements. If you don't want this to display, remove its CSS from style.css.

Victor-- Thank you for your help. I understand what you are saying with the pseudo elements-- what I am trying to remove is the border-bottom attribute that follows each widget in the sidebar. After adding the 'remove markup' snippet you shared with me, I see that this can also accomplish my goal for the sidebar widgets (once I find the right snippet)-- it removed the border attribute from the bottom of each post, which is something I also was trying to do.

Having said that, the "filed under XXXXX" element is still showing up after each post, which is my final objective. What am I missing?

Once again, thank you so much for your time!

I can remove the CSS from the live site that is hiding these elements if that will make things easier.
