    I want to hide the author info on post pages if a certain category is selected. Any easy solutions?

    John,

    To clarify, are you wanting to remove the author info on a category archive page that displays posts from a certain category? Or on a single post that is in a certain category?

    Sorry, should have been more clear. The latter. I'm curating stories from other sites in a category called "curated" and I want any post tagged with that to only show the date it was posted.

    Cheers.

    Figured it out. Used Genesis Simple Hooks plug in. Went to genesis_before_post_content Hook and added:

    <?php if(in_category('curated')) { ?>
    <p>
    <?php echo get_the_date('M. j, Y'); ?></p>
    <?php  } else { ?>
    <p>by <span><?php echo get_the_author(); ?></span>
    <?php echo get_the_date('M. j, Y'); ?></p>
    <?php } ?>
