I want to remove all meta in post except the date.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

What you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_ethos_entry_meta' ) ) :
  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() )
    );

    //
    // Output.
    //

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

  }
endif;

Please let us know how it goes.

Hmmm. I still see the author and not only the date.

Hello There,

Please have it updated and use this:

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_ethos_entry_meta' ) ) :
  function x_ethos_entry_meta() {

    //
    // 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() )
    );

    //
    // Output.
    //

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

  }
endif;

Please let us know how it goes.

Great. Only date in post.

But: om frontpage blog the date is gone.

Hey There,

It is not displayed because you have added this custom css

.blog .p-meta span:nth-child(1), .blog .p-meta span:nth-child(2):after, .blog .p-meta span:nth-child(3) {
    display: none;
}

Please find and remove this custom css because it is no longer necessary.
