  • Hi,

    You could use a conditonal tag and write a function to hide the date in that specific category. See here => http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_Category_Page

    Another way to do it if you are displaying that category of posts on a page by themselves there is likely a body_class() and/or post_class() which would output category dependant css classes;

    use these in your stylesheet like so:

    .category-somecategory .entry-date {
    display: none;
    }

    Thanks trishasalas! The css took away the date on the posts in that category.

    But now it reads, “posted on blank by author name”. Is there a way to get rid of the word”on”?

    With the conditional tags, let’s say:

    is_category( ‘category name’ )

    what else would I need to include to do this?

    Again, thanks…

    Oh, sorry …that was kinda of an obvious thing I completely forgot about. Try changing it to

    .category-somecategory .entry-meta {
    display: none;
    }

    I think that will get rid of the date without getting rid of the author information. 🙂

    Glad to help.

    If that doesn’t do what you want can you post a link? It would help to see how the theme has formatted things.

    trishasalas,

    The second group of css took away all the data, so I went back to your first suggestion.

    Here’s what it is:
