News Pro Theme – customize category overview

[Mige77]

Hi,

Im running a site on News Pro theme. On all category overview pages Id like to shorten the entry-footer part to remove the meta information about category and tags.

URL: http://www.stringworks.ch/musiknews/

Also I`ve tried to include a social media sharing solution via simple "simple hooks", which generally works, but the theme adds the sharing buttons on all overviews and pages too. How can I add the sharing just on article detail level?

Thank you for any help in advance!

Kind regards,
Michael

Add the following code in your functions.php file so category & tags will remove

remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_close', 15 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );

For social sharing buttons use the conditional tag:

if ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page')){
   // ADD YOUR CODE HERE
}

Hi, thank you very much!

That first one worked perfectly. I have to try the second part with the social media buttons too.

Kindly,

Hi,

Thanks again for your advice with the conditional tag. I`ve tried that and used this code:

if ( is_singular( array('post'))){
   echo do_shortcode('[socialMediaEnhancer]');
}

This should display the social media sharing buttons. But the output of the plugin is not visible. Do I have to define the exact position of the output somehow in functions.php, where it should be executed on a post page?

KR,
Michael

Add the code in your functions.php file.

add_action('genesis_entry_header', 'add_sharing_button', 30);
function add_sharing_button(){
    if ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page')){
         echo do_shortcode('[socialMediaEnhancer]');
    }
}

Hi genwrock

Thank you again for the add sharing function. I have included that on my second website, but it does not seem to work. I`m not getting any error message, but the sharing buttons are not visible:

Wondering if it has to do with the shortcode or the plugin itself...

Kind regards,

Oho.. this theme is not using HTML5 markup. My code will work for HTML5 site. Ok. Please remove the previous & use this code:

add_action('genesis_before_post_content', 'add_sharing_button', 30);
function add_sharing_button(){
    if ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page')){
         echo do_shortcode('[socialMediaEnhancer]');
    }
}

It all worked perfectly, on both the HTML5 and on the other site. Your help is much appreciated 🙂
