Remove Post Meta from Home Page

[ezines]

How can I remove the post meta on the home page only?

Using Pretty Pictures theme.

I'm not familiar with Pretty Pictures, but I think if you add this code to home.php then it will be removed.


/** Remove the post meta function for front page only */
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

Appreciate the input but that's not it.

Your snippet "should" remove post meta across the whole site, but for some reason it doesn't work on Pretty Pictures.  Not sure why it doesn't work on this theme.

I want to remove post meta from the homepage only.

I mentioned to add it to home.php. Like I said I'm not familiar with Pretty Pictures, and I don't have access to the them.

Also, maybe try adding the plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-visual-hook-guide/ - to see which hook the post meta is added to.

Thanks Barney.

No home.php in this theme

Does anyone have a clue?

Ezines,

You'll want to add a function with a conditional statement in your functions.php file, like this:

/** Remove the post meta function on homepage */
function my_remove_post_meta() {
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
}}

Thanks FireSamurai, but that did not work.

None of the remove post meta functions seem work on this theme.

This is from the SP code snippets page and it also does not work. Meta remains across the theme:

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

I've also tried a variety of things all over the Simple Hooks plugin.

I sincerely thank to community for offering assistance.

It's getting to be WAY PAST TIME for some help from Studiopress support.  Is anyone out there?

It’s getting to be WAY PAST TIME for some help from Studiopress support.  Is anyone out there?

This support forum is for users such as yourself  to assist other users. "Official" StudioPress support is for getting the theme to look like the demo, and for technical assistance, and is done by submitting a help ticket. Anything beyond that is deemed "customization" and is handled here on the forum.

Edited to add - I'm a StudioPress user like you, not a StudioPress employee.

Try this:

FireSamurai - Thanks again!

I kept playing with your code. It was very close, just missing a couple of exclamation marks:

function my_remove_post_meta() {
if ( !is_home() || !is_front_page() ) {
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
}}

@ezines - were you able to utilize the gist to solve your problem?

Hey there,

Just seeing this thread and wanted to post a complete code snippet to remove the post meta on the home page only of a site. Thanks to @Susan for the starter gist and @ezines for the pointing out the correct action:

add_action( 'genesis_before', 'child_conditional_actions' );
function child_conditional_actions() {

if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) { //if page is home page or front page
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );
}

}

Couldn't get that code working. Not sure why?

Brad, if you didn't change the apostrophes - try copying this. I fixed them.

add_action( ‘genesis_before’, ‘child_conditional_actions’ );
function child_conditional_actions() {

if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) { //if page is home page or front page
remove_action( ‘genesis_after_post_content’, ‘genesis_post_meta’ );
}
}
