Removing entry meta from certain posts, not all

[hmistler]

Hi there - I would like to remove the post entry meta on my portfolio pages (for the portfolio, I am using a plugin that allows me to create custom post types and filter by categories). However, I would like to keep it on my blog pages. I've searched through many of the topics here in the forum but can't seem to find what what I need. I've tried to do the display:none in CSS but can't get it to work, and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this in php code so that any future entries I have will automatically not have the entry meta? This is the closest code I've found:

add_action('template_redirect', 'customizePostMeta');
function customizePostMeta(){
 if( is_category()){
    //* Remove the entry meta in the entry footer (requires HTML5 theme support)
    remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
   
   //* Remove the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support)
   remove_action(  'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 ); 
 }
}

In the line with if( is_category()){, will this remove the entry meta for ALL posts with categories? I'm just looking to remove it from the pages with my portfolio items. I had done this previously using specific page #s, but I'm hoping there is a better way. I can supply any more information needed! Thanks in advance, I really appreciate this forum and the help it offers!

is_category() is referring to category archive pages, so it will remove the post meta from pages such as http://www.haleymistler.com/category/illustration. It will not remove post meta from the single posts, such as the one you're linking to.

Depending on how your categories are set up, you may instead be looking for in_category() or, even better, is_singular( 'foo' ).

Best,
