Hide category meta

Hello,
I use the gym demo and i would like to hide just the “In Non classé” meta. How to do that ?

Hi Lyser,

Thanks for writing in! First you will need to setup a child theme and activate it. Then you can add the following code into your child theme’s functions.php file .

  function x_ethos_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( ' %1$s %2$s</span>',
      __( 'by', '__x__' ),
      get_the_author()
    );


    //
    // Date.
    //

    $date = sprintf( '<span><time class="entry-date" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time></span>',
      esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
      esc_html( get_the_date() )
    );


    //
    // Categories.
    //

    if ( get_post_type() == 'x-portfolio' ) {
      if ( has_term( '', 'portfolio-category', NULL ) ) {
        $categories        = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'portfolio-category' );
        $separator         = ', ';
        $categories_output = '';
        foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
          $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                              . get_term_link( $category->slug, 'portfolio-category' )
                              . '" title="'
                              . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                              . '"> '
                              . $category->name
                              . '</a>'
                              . $separator;
        }

        $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%1$s %2$s',
          __( 'In', '__x__' ),
          trim( $categories_output, $separator )
        );
      } else {
        $categories_list = '';
      }
    } else {
      $categories        = get_the_category();
      $separator         = ', ';
      $categories_output = '';
      foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
        $categories_output .= '<a href="'
                            . get_category_link( $category->term_id )
                            . '" title="'
                            . esc_attr( sprintf( __( "View all posts in: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;", '__x__' ), $category->name ) )
                            . '"> '
                            . $category->name
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>&nbsp; ',
        //__( 'In', '__x__' ),
        trim( $categories_output, $separator )
      );
    }


    //
    // Comments link.
    //

    if ( comments_open() ) {

      $title  = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_title', get_the_title() );
      $link   = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_link', get_comments_link() );
      $number = apply_filters( 'x_entry_meta_comments_number', get_comments_number() );

      $text = ( 0 == $number ) ? __( 'Leave a Comment', '__x__' ) : sprintf( _n( '%s Comment', '%s Comments', $number, '__x__' ), $number );

      $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments">%3$s</a></span>',
        esc_url( $link ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: &ldquo;%s&rdquo;', '__x__' ), $title ) ),
        $text
      );

    } else {

      $comments = '';

    }


    //
    // Output.
    //

    if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
      return;
    } else {
      printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s</p>',
        $categories_list,
        $author,
        $date,
        $comments
      );
    }

  }

Hope that helps.

Thx mldarshana,
The category is gone but It seems there is a space at the beginning, could it be possible for the meta to be aligned with the rest ?

Hello @Lyser,

Thanks for updating the thread.

You can add following CSS under X > Theme Options > CSS:

.p-meta span:first-child {
    margin-left: -7px;
}

However, please note that my colleague @mldarshana provided to help you get started. Changes that required custom development, falls outside the scope of support we offer. In case of any issues with the layout because of custom codes we won’t be able to provide support.

I have found the proper CSS code selector using the Chrome browser Developer Toolbar:

For the CSS code itself, I suggest that you get started with this tutorial:

Thanks.

Perfect, thx you ! For the code and also for the videos tutorial.

You are most welcome. :slight_smile:
