Remove entry meta on posts only, keep it there on the 'blog' page?

[awr]

I'm trying to remove the entry meta stuff (posted by, date, comments) on individual post pages... BUT keep the entry meta stuff there all other times (for example, when viewing the "blog" page, or category pages, or any page where there is a list of post excerpts).

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there,

I'm not a php master and I don't know how comfortable you are with it. I know that this is definitely possible, I'm just not 100% sure of the code to make it happen.

Below is my shot at it. Try adding it to the bottom of your functions.php. BUT!! Make sure you have ftp access and a copy of functions.php before trying this code. If it doesn't work, it could give you the white screen of death, and you will need to upload your working functions.php code via ftp.

//* Customize the post meta function
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'sp_post_meta_filter' );
function sp_post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
}
else {
       $post_meta = '[post_categories before="Filed Under: "] [post_tags before="Tagged: "]';
	return $post_meta;
}

[This is based on the code from here, designed allow you to customize post meta.]

Hope it works! Let me know how it goes. And maybe someone else will chime in as well!

Yup... white screen of death. 😉 Definitely appreciate the help though.

I've done a ton of searching around about this one and I can't find anyone doing/trying to do anything similar.

DARN. I thought I had it!

Sorry!

[awr]

Sorry to bump this, but I still can't figure this one out.

Anyone else have any guesses?

Thanks.

Old question, but thought I would put in the solution I use for this issue.

You can use CSS to hide the display of meta on given categories.

For example, if my post category is 'Work Samples' the following CSS will hide the meta on that category only.

.category-work-samples .entry-meta { display: none; }
