Post Info & Excerpts on Teasers & Featured Posts

[handsonaswegrow]

I would like the post_info to be remove from the homepage teasers (date would actually be great to keep there) and then on the posts to only have the post_author - I have created the code:

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

/** Customize the post info function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_info_filter' );
function post_info_filter($post_info) {
if ( !is_single () ) {
$post_info = 'By [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]'
return $post_info;
}}
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'post_home_info_filter' );
function post_home_info_filter($post__home_info) {
if ( !is_home () ) {
$post_home_info = '[post_date] [post_edit]';
return $post_home_info;
}}
But it's not quite working for me. It takes away the post_info on the homepage altogether and just the date shows on the posts. Not quite what I was looking for, but I'm getting closer.
Another question I have... I'd like to remove the excerpts on teasers only (and keep the excerpt on the 1 feature post on the homepage). I have found the code to change the length of teasers and I can remove them by using 0 - but I lose the excerpt on the feature too.
I think that's all I have for now. And please let me know if I'm overstepping our relationship by asking you these. I can't find anything in searching.
I'm using the Genesis-Sample child theme. My site is http://handsonaswegrow.com

Could you remove the PHP code so the post info displays. Its easier to use CSS code for this.

Brad - I sure can. How do I adjust it with CSS?

[Brad Dalton]

Install Firebug and target the post-info date and author classes using the body class for the home page and posts from the source code.

Brad - but how can I do that to apply to home differently than the posts themselves?

[Brad Dalton]

body class

its hard to test on your site because you have removed most of the post info

okay, I've removed it from my php file and put .post-info and .post-meta to display:none in my css, but I'd like some elements to show on posts (post-meta) and just the date to show on the home page (and archives) How can I tell that the difference with css?

[Brad Dalton]

Can't because they're not displaying so i can't inspect them using Firebug.

You need to test this using Firebug first before making the changes in your child themes files.

okay, I've removed the display:none - thought i hate how this looks in the meantime, I hope we can figure this out quickly.

[Brad Dalton]

You'll need to install Firebug and find the different classes for each post info class you want to hide:

.home .post-comments {
display:none;
}

.single-post .post-comments {
display:none;
}

Thank you, I figured it out. Could never find .home and .single-post elements when using Firebug, so I just tried it and that worked. Thank you.

 

CSS I added to remove post info for comments (from both home and posts), remove date on single posts and remove post-meta from home:

 
.home .post-comments {
display: none;
}

.home .post-meta {
display: none;
}

.single-post .post-comments {
display: none;
}

.single-post .post-info .date {
display: none;
}

Brad - I guess I snuck another question in here too - is there a way to remove excerpts from teasers (and not features)? on the homepage and archives?

[handsonaswegrow]

And I figured that out with CSS too - for mine it was:

 

.one-half .entry-content {
    display: none;
}
