How to remove time stamp on Balance

[mariafernandez]

My blog is not time sensitive, so I've decided to show no date on blog posts. This is what I've done to remove the date stamp on the Balance theme:

Under Editor / functions.php, I''ve duplicated the line:

$post_info = '[post_author_posts_link] [post_date]';

Then I've commented one of them:

/** $post_info = '[post_author_posts_link] [post_date]'; */

and in the active one I've deleted:

[post_date]

So I now have:
/** Customize the post info function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if (!is_page()) {
/** $post_info = '[post_author_posts_link] [post_date]'; */
$post_info = '[post_author_posts_link]';
return $post_info;
}
}

 

This removes the time stamp cleanly.

I've posted this in case others want to remove their date stamps too.

Wow, that's a lot of work. Doesn't the Genesis Simple Edits do the same thing without modifying the code - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-edits? I am trying to learn which way is better - modifying code or just using plugins to make things work.

anitac, thanks.

Can anyone confirm whether using the Simple Edits plugin is better than doing php changes? I'm thinking long term and possible problems with upgrades. Thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing. I've installed the plugin but how do I use the short code to say "don't post this information"????

So here's Post Meta snippet - http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/post-meta/#remove. Would this be of help for you?

Thanks Anitac! I entered that under my child theme in the functions.php file but it didn't seem to change anything. I cleared my cache (learned that lesson a while back!!) and also tried in another browser but it still didn't seem to change it?

This is the code I used:

/** Remove the post meta function */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

The very simply change to the functions.php file works great.
