How to remove "Posted in… | Comments Off

Hi cupflippr & Susie,

Glad you like the plugin, and thank you for using it!

To change the output you’re seeing, you’ll want to create a custom output template. We touch on this in the FAQ under “How do I change the Output Template?”

1. Copy the template file post_loop_template.php from the plugin folder to your (parent) theme’s folder. You should find the plugin directory in your wordpress directory under wp-content/plugins/posts-in-page, and your theme should be in wp-content/themes/.
2. Make sure to add the “template” attribute to your shortcode: template=’post_loop_template.php’.
3. Edit your new custom template

If you want to remove the Category section from the output, look for the <!-- This is the output of the META information --> comment. I’m guessing that you probably don’t want ANY of that meta info, so you can just delete the whole section if you want:

delete the following

<!-- This is the output of the META information -->
	<div class="entry-utility">
		<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<?php
			$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', ', ' );
			if ( $tags_list ):
		?>
			<span class="tag-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Tagged</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links', $tags_list ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>
		<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>
		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentyten' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
	</div>

The resulting template will look like the following.

<!-- NOTE: If you need to make changes to this file, copy it to your current theme's main
	directory so your changes won't be overwritten when the plugin is upgraded. -->

<!-- Start of Post Wrap -->
<div class="post hentry ivycat-post">
	<!-- This is the output of the post TITLE -->
	<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

	<!-- This is the output of the EXCERPT -->
	<div class="entry-summary">
		<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
	</div>

</div>
<!-- // End of Post Wrap -->

If you JUST want to delete Categories, then delete…

<?php if ( count( get_the_category() ) ) : ?>
			<span class="cat-links">
				<?php printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted in</span> %2$s', 'twentyten' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?>
			</span>
			<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
		<?php endif; ?>

if you JUST want to delete Comments, then delete…

<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyten' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></span>

Feel free to experiment. If you mess something up, you can always start over with a fresh copy from the plugin directory. 🙂

Is that along the lines of what you’re looking for?

Good catch pothound, thanks! 🙂
