Hi guys,

> Is it possible to hide only the category in the post meta? How can I achieve this?

> Is it possible to update the theme without losing all the customizations, if I have not installed a child theme?

Best and thank you so much,

Hey Babette,

1. Yes, it is possible to hide the category only in post meta. Please tell us what Stack you’re using so we could give you the code needed.

2. No. You’ll need a child theme for that.

Thanks.

Hey Babette,

In your functions.php, please add the code

function x_renew_entry_meta() {

  $author = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
    get_the_author()
  );

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

  if ( comments_open() ) {
    if ( get_comments_number() == 0 ) {
      $comments = sprintf( '<span>%3$s</span>',
        esc_url( get_comments_link() ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: “%s”', '__x__' ), get_the_title() ) ),
        __( 'Leave a Comment' , '__x__' )
      );
    } else if ( get_comments_number() == 1 ) {
      $comments = sprintf( '<span>%3$s</span>',
        esc_url( get_comments_link() ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Leave a comment on: “%s”', '__x__' ), get_the_title() ) ),
        get_comments_number() . ' ' . __( 'Comment' , '__x__' )
      );
    } else {
      $comments = sprintf( '<span>%3$s</span>',
        esc_url( get_comments_link() ),
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all comments on: “%s”', '__x__' ), get_the_title() ) ),
        get_comments_number() . ' ' . __( 'Comments' , '__x__' )
      );
    }
  } else {
    $comments = '';
  }

  $post_type           = get_post_type();
  $post_type_post      = $post_type == 'post';
  $post_type_portfolio = $post_type == 'x-portfolio';
  $no_post_meta        = get_theme_mod( 'x_blog_enable_post_meta' ) == 0;
  $no_portfolio_meta   = get_theme_mod( 'x_portfolio_enable_post_meta' ) == 0;

  if ( $post_type_post && $no_post_meta || $post_type_portfolio && $no_portfolio_meta ) {
    return;
  } else {
    printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s</p>',
      $author,
      $date,
      $comments
    );
  }

}

Hope that helps. 🙂

Hi, I use the latest version of x and the renew-child-theme and tried your code – but now all of the meta data is missing – i just want to exclude the categories.

could you provide an updated code?

just found it out – that is the code that worked, I copied it into my functions.php in the renew-child-theme:

// Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( ‘x_renew_entry_meta’ ) ) :
function x_renew_entry_meta() {

//
// Author.
//

$author = sprintf( ‘%s’,
get_the_author()
);

//
// Date.
//

$date = sprintf( ‘<time class=”entry-date” datetime=”%1$s”>%2$s</time>’,
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: “%s””, ‘__x__’ ), $category->name ) )
. ‘”> ‘
. $category->name
. ‘‘
. $separator;
}

$categories_list = sprintf( ‘%s’,
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: “%s””, ‘__x__’ ), $category->name ) )
. ‘”>’
. $category->name
. ‘‘
. $separator;
}

$categories_list = sprintf( ‘%s’,
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() );

if ( $number == 0 ) {
$text = __( ‘Leave a Comment’ , ‘__x__’ );
} else if ( $number == 1 ) {
$text = $number . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Comment’ , ‘__x__’ );
} else {
$text = $number . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Comments’ , ‘__x__’ );
}

$comments = sprintf( ‘%3$s’,
esc_url( $link ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( ‘Leave a comment on: “%s”’, ‘__x__’ ), $title ) ),
$text
);

} else {

$comments = ”;

}

//
// Output.
//

if ( x_does_not_need_entry_meta() ) {
return;
} else {
printf( ‘%1$s%2$s%3$s%4$s’,
$author,
$date,
$categories_list,
$comments
);
}

}
endif;

I tried to copy/paste Amberette’s code but just got a whole mess of syntax errors – probably due to copying from a post rather than a “code” upload.

Any sugestions?

Hi there,

Yes, that’s right. please add this :

// Entry Meta
// =============================================================================

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

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
      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() )

Hi:

I had to add another ‘}’ and endif; at the end but that got rid of the errors.

How do I remove the categories?

Thanks

Hi there,

Change this code :

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

to this,

 printf( '<p class="p-meta">%1$s%2$s%3$s</p>',
        $author,
        $date,
        $comments
      );

Cheers!
