Dear Themeco Team,

I would like to remove from the front- and the backend the Date and Author information of all kinds (pictures, posts etc.). Therefore, I have found many threads and many different ways. Now, I am completely confused about.

I think that this is one of the highly demanded matters that should be integrated into the theme as an easy to use on-off-button.

What is the easyest and most reliable way to remove date and author stamp from my site, so nor the visitor or the google bot can read it.

Thank you!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! If you want to remove these entirely then you need to use Child Theme and overwrite the files. It would be the best way to remove the information entirely.

Cheers!

I do already have the child theme. Please tell me what exactly I have to remove.
Thank you!

Hi there,

Can you try switching off Post Meta under Appearance -> Customize -> Blog and Appearance -> Customize -> Portfolio sections.

Hope that helps.

[Lutslana]

Hi Darshana,

both are turned off. But the data and author stamp is still there.

Hello There,

To get rid of the author and date in your pages, please add the following css code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS

.x-recent-posts .x-recent-posts-date,
.site .p-meta {
    display: none;
}

Hope this would help.

Dear Rue,

I would like to remove it completely. So it does not only not gettind displayed (like the css solution) but also does not exist in the code. So for example the google bot can not read it out. Do you know a solution for that?

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. You can turn off Post Meta from Customize > Blog > Content > Post Meta – http://prntscr.com/apbln1

Certainly it won’t show post meta if you turn off from here. Same goes for the Portfolio that already mentioned (
#862897).

If you still have a look into the original code on theme then go to x/framework/functions/integrity.php for Integrity stack. You can use your CHild Theme’s functions.php to filter this if needed. As the settings already exists on the Customizer so I don’t think you need any piece of code to hide this completely.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Dear Rupok,

Like I said before, it is already turned off.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the provided login is not correct.

For the meantime, if you wish to effectively remove author and dates permanently. Then please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

function x_integrity_entry_meta() {

    //
    // Author.
    //

    $author = '';

    //
    // Date.
    //

    $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 ) )
                              . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon=""></i> '
                              . $category->name
                              . '</a>'
                              . $separator;
        }

        $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
          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 ) )
                            . '"><i class="x-icon-bookmark" data-x-icon=""></i> '
                            . $category->name
                            . '</a>'
                            . $separator;
      }

      $categories_list = sprintf( '<span>%s</span>',
        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__' );
      }

      $comments = sprintf( '<span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" class="meta-comments"><i class="x-icon-comments" data-x-icon=""></i> %3$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>',
        $author,
        $date,
        $categories_list,
        $comments
      );
    }

  }

Then please install the cornerstone plugin, or else, your site will not function correctly.

Thanks!

Hi Rad,

thank you for the code!
Everything is done. Cornerstone is installed and the code is implemented in the child theme’s functions.php.

The author and the date are still there. Please check the following link:
http://www.cha.de/knowledge-base/

In the next post I will post my login data so you can check the backend.

Thanks!
