to remove the post author

[smenegassi]

Hi,

I am working on a theme based on Genesis Sample theme.

I want to remove the author's name from posts on certains pages.
I've tryed what I found on Stduo press snoppets :

//* Customize the entry meta in the entry header (requires HTML5 theme support)
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
$post_info = ' [post_comments] [post_edit]';
return $post_info;
}

I am really new to Genesis and WordPress but I really want to learn. Any cues ? Thanks evrybody

That will work. Add it to your functions file using File Manager in Cpanel or FTP with a code editor.

Which pages do you want to remove it from because that code removes it globally.

Hi, thanks.
I am doing that. I use Brackets and Transmit. And it does not work !
In this site there is blog with comments, and there the author can be kwown but in a space called Petites Annonces, the client would like that we couldn't see the author of the add. God knows why ! It a s kind of obsession. 😉
I think I can create a article- page model so to remove the author only where I want.
I'll try again. there i
thanks

Hi Braddalton,

I must be doing something very wrong. When I triy to see the filters on may page with the plugin G Hook Guide, it doesn't give me the genesis_post_info filter. I guess that's why it doens't work....

I keep searching,
🙂
thanks for your attention,
sergio

Are you referring to the:

1. author box in the entry footer

or

2. author archive link in the entry header?

1. One shows a avatar of the author and their Bio.

2. The other is only a link to the authors archive page.

I believe I mean the author archive link in the entry header.
GHookGuide says :

genesis_entry_header

genesis_entry_content

Here's the code

To remove the link from specific pages/posts, you can add conditional tags after the function.

Also note: If you have the Genesis Simple Edits plugin active, adding code which uses the same hook may not work. In your case, its better to use code rather than the plugin.

Please add the code to your child themes functions file using a code editor.

You will need to add conditional tags to remove the author link from specific posts and pages.

Here's examples of modifying the post info shortcodes conditionally.

OK. thanks Brad.

I know what was happening ! I had "Genesis Simple Edits Plugin" on, so the "shortcodes" from the Plugin were taken over the filter I was adding to my functions.php file. I desactived the plugin and then may functions.php file took over.

Thanks again.
now I have to make my conditionals tags.

I am considering in joining your WP sites. I really want to learn about filters, hooks and actions !

cheers
