Removing date and author from posts in Crystal

[kathiemt]

I'm using the Crystal theme and looking for a way to remove the author and date reference on posts. But it's not working.

Tried this code at the end of the css which I found in another thread.

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

But that hasn't done what I need. Any ideas please?

Add this to functions.php:

//* Remove post info on single posts
add_action ( 'genesis_post_content' , 'remove_post_info_single' );
function remove_post_info_single() {
	global $post;
	if ( is_single () )
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );
}

That should remove the post info on single posts only.

Thanks, but that didn't work. I ended up with this error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /clientdata/www/au/p/publicspeaking.com.au/blog/wp-content/themes/crystal/functions.php on line 140

Try taking out the line that says global $post; - that should get it. If not, please paste in the entire functions.php and I'll take a look.

That didn't work at all. I've now changed the theme for the client who wanted one that was mobile responsive and tried this code for that theme too (Executive Pro) but it definitely didn't work and came up with error codes as mentioned above.

This works for Executive Pro - I just used it on a test site:

//* Remove post info on single posts
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'nabm_remove_post_info' );
function nabm_remove_post_info() {
if( is_single() )
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 5 );
}

I'm still getting an error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /clientdata/www/au/p/publicspeaking.com.au/blog/wp-content/themes/executive-pro/functions.php on line 224

I can't tell where line 224 is - when I paste your functions file above into a text editor, it's only 221 lines long. But since it doesn't have code tags the formatting is incorrect.

Can you download your functions.php and attach it to an email? My email address is [email protected]

Try the 2nd snippet on this page and remove the shortcode for the date and author from the code.

What you need to do is filter the post info and return the modified value.

Otherwise you can use the remove action to remove the entire post info however your question related to removing the date and author only.
