Show author byline on some categories

[Josh Fialkoff]

Hi,

How can I add a filter to show the author byline on just some categories?

For instance, I want to show the byline on blog posts, but not on news category posts.

Thanks,

Josh

You can use either CSS to hide it or a remove action with conditional tags including the page/post i.d's you want to remove it from. http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/post-info/

Hi Brad,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I don't see information on this page about how to filter by category.

Please let me know what I am missing...

Thanks for your help!

You'll need to modify the code or use CSS. I have written about this in a couple of posts so I can provide the code tomorrow.

The conditional tag to filter by category is

!in_category

check the Codex

You would use this code in a custom function with the conditional tag:

remove_action( 'genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info' );

Thanks. We did it already. We actually just want to *include* the Blog category.

We added this to the Simple Hooks plugin:

<?php
if(in_category('blog' ))
?>
<div class="post-info">
<?php
if(in_category('blog' ))
echo'
<span class="time">';?><?php if(in_category('blog' )) the_time('F j, Y'); ?></span> <span class="author">

<?php if(in_category('blog' ))
echo'by '; if(in_category('blog' )) the_author(); ?></span>
</div>

Hi I have the same problem,

How can I add a filter to show the author byline on just some categories? Is there CSS that can accomplish this? I don't use Genesis Simple Edits plugin. I would like to only show the byline for one category:

Thank you for your wonderful help and sorry I took so long!. I fixed the problem by adding this to my functions.php

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'remove_post_info_exclude_news_category' );
function remove_post_info_exclude_news_category($post_info) {
if ( in_category('blogs') ) {
$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}
}
