Hey guys,

I successfully mirrored Renew.php into X Child theme folder.

x-child/framework/functions/renew.php

I’m trying to delete date and author from the Post entry meta.
It seems like it’s not recognized, as I’m removing a bunch of code but nothing happens.

Any advice?

Thank you

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in!

To overwrite functions in renew.php file, please add your code in child theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks.

Ah I see, I copied the meta part, how do I remove the Author and data?
Tried some things but I get syntax errors.

Can you push me in the right direction Chris?

Hi There,

You can not override that PHP file.

Please copy this function to functions.php file locates in your child theme:

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() )
  );

  //
  // 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>%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 ) )
                          . '">'
                          . $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() );

  
  $text = ( 0 === $number ) ? 'Leave a Comment' : 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</p>',
      $categories_list,
      $comments
    );
  }

}

Let us know how it goes!

Terrific, so what exactly did you remove? Trying to dive more into PHP here.

Hey Chris,

The old code:

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

The new one:

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

Regards!
