X has changed so much that I thought it is probably worth asking the best practice way of accomplishing these two goals:

1. For the class=”x-post-carousel-meta” I would like to suppress the date on the class=”class=”entry-cover-categories””.
2. For the class=”entry-cover-categories” I would like to be able to designate a specific order that the categories should show up in (custom instead of alphabetical)
3. AND I would like to limit the number of categories it shows.

So the questions are:

• How do I set the class=”entry-cover-date” to show NONE? Do I do that in the child CSS or the child functions?
• How do I designate the order I want the categories to appear in?
• How do I code it so that the theme will go through the category order and show the first two categories specific to that post? For instance if a post has say the fourth and sixth category in my custom list but none of the first few categories will the theme just go through the custom list order until it finds the two for that post?
• How do I limit the number of categories the x-post-carousel-meta shows? I would like two to be the max.

TIA,

Hey there,

For the date, Please add the code below in your Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS.

span.entry-cover-date {
    display: none;
}

Other requests are outside the scope of our support as they are quite involved. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!

Thank you, what code do I enter on my child theme css to suppress the date on the sliders on the archive pages? Or on all sliders?

[islandowlParticipant]

Would it be possible to easily make it so the entry cover will show the categories on more than one line? Or show a couple lines of tags?

By easily, I mean what would go after “display:”?

span.entry-cover-categories {
    display: ???;
}

Hi there,

#1 Please update your code to :

.archive span.entry-cover-date {
    display: none;
}

#2 Regretfully, at this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

Hope it helps.
