Can you tell us which file you already removed code from? And, if known, what code you removed?
Posted 1 year ago #
I have try to remove in "wp-app.php":
$post_author = (int) $user_ID;
and in "wp-content\themes\twentyeleven" in page functions.php
I have try to remove:
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyeleven' ), get_the_author() ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )but nothing change!
Hi all,
Due to the way in which the Twenty Eleven theme is coded, if you modify the twentyeleven_posted_on function directly, those changes will be reflected in all theme files that use this function.
If you are certain that you want to completely remove that info, here's the reworked function for you:
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
);
}Be careful not to delete the endif; command that comes after the closing curly bracket.
Cheers!
Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. Create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.
Esmi has a point: I had automatically assumed a child theme was in place, but now re-reading the original post, I realized there is no mention of a child-theme.
If you have already made too many changes to it, you could rename the theme folder, edit the commented out theme info inside style.css, and re-upload an unedited version of the original Twenty Eleven theme. That way you can keep both the original theme and your customized version.
Cheers!
Hi,
Where you able to figure this out? Do you need additional assistance?

Thanks!

Realy thank you for the Reply!!
I have never create a Child Theme, so it is my first!
so I have create a new folder:
wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child-theme
and I have put in it two files:
- style.css
it's the same of "twentyeleven" just change the "Theme Name" in the code.
- functions.php
with that code in it:
<?php
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
);
}
?>I don't know if it is the right procedure... for now nothing change in my website! =P
P.S.
Sorry for my bad english
Hi,
The problem with your approach is that your child theme is still using your original themes' functions, including the original twentyeleven_posted_on. Even if you renamed your custom function, it would not work, because the template files would still be calling the original function's name.
I also don't think it's possible to modify the output of the original function, since it has no hooks you could use (Esmi, please correct me here if I'm wrong).
I think the easiest solution would be to keep your modified TwentyEleven theme in a different folder inside themes, assign it a different name in the style.css file, and make all the changes you need directly. To rename the theme, try to locate this text at the beginning of that file style.css file:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty ElevenChange it to Twenty Eleven (custom) so you can individualize it in the Admin Panel.
Of course, it is advisable as Esmi said to keep the original TwentyEleven theme unmodified so that you can reference it if you encounter any problems.

Now in my wp-content/themes I have this folders:
- "twentyeleven" (with all the original files)
- "twentyeleven-child-theme" (my new-custom folder).
In this folder I have put 5 files:
style.css its equal to the original but I have just change that:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven (Child Theme)and I have change the same line also in this files: editor-style.css, editor-style-rtl.css and rtl.css.
and in functions.php I have just put your code:
<?php
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
);
}
?>I have clean my cache browser and go in admin pannel, but I can't see my custom theme. Just "Twenty Eleven 1.2" (the original) like default.
style.css its equal to the original but I have just change that:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven (Child Theme)
you need to change more than that; - see http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#The_required_style.css_file
particularly, you need to have this line:
Template: twentyeleven

Thank you alchymyth !
I have add this line in style.css:
Template: twentyeleven
and now I can see my custom theme in admin pannel!
But...when I going to active it... all my website go in crash!
and give me this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /web/htdocs/www.mywebsite.com/home/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child-theme/functions.php on line 9

So it is something wrong in my functions.php
there is a comma too much in the code, at the end of this line esc_html( get_the_date() ), - the comma needs to be removed;
corrected:
<?php
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() )
);
}
?>Oops, that was my bad,
I was moving the arguments around and left an extra comma in the code.
The corrected version should work.
Sorry about that!

Oh, that was ok in Home page. But when I open a single article, in his footer I can read:
This entry was posted in xxxxx by yyyyy
So I have find this in content-featured.php
and content-single.php
so I have deleted:
by <a href="%6$s">%5$s</a>
(and I also have translate in my language)
so I have put this two files in "twentyeleven-child-theme" folder, and now its ok!

After lots of messing around and trying different things, this is what finally helped me.
Edit the style.css of your child theme by adding the following line at the bottom
.entry-meta{display:none;}
That was it.

Hey guys, thanks for your input I've been looking for a solution to this for a while. However it seems to break the backend of my site.
@ alchymyth - When I put the following code into my twenty eleven Child Theme's functions.php file, it breaks my site.
After adding the code, the site functions okay from the front end and it does remove the 'Posted By AuthorName', BUT when I try to access the back end login area I just see a white screen.
I put the following code into my child theme's functions.php file:
<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyeleven_posted_on' ) ) :
function twentyeleven_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="sep">Posted on </span><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s" pubdate>%4$s</time></a>', 'twentyeleven' ),
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() )
);
}
endif;
?>Am I doing something wrong here? I tried removing the 'If' statements but I get the same issue of not being able to access the login area.
Hi.
Perhaps the function is also targeting the admin section. Try to change the beginning of your if statement to this:
if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyeleven_posted_on' ) && ! is_admin() ) :

The code is fine and should work.
Try this:
Remove the last ?> and leave the php tag open!

Thanks for the tips guys, I managed to get it working.
@ Digital Raindrops - I tried removing the last ?> but it didn't have any effect, so I tried something similar.
My child functions.php file was like this:
<php
// I had custom code here already
?>
<php
// I had the code here mentioned in my first post
?>I simply got rid of the two seperate opening and closing php tags, and
made it as one, e.g.
<php
// ccustom code here already
// code here mentioned in my first post
?>Thanks for the tips guys, I managed to get it working.
You are welcome, and I'm glad you were able to figure it out.
Please don't forget to mark this thread as resolved whenever you get a chance.
Thanks!

Hi Marventus, I'm new to the forum and am not sure how to mark this thread as resolved. I'm just trying to work out how to do that, if you can let me know that would be great.
Update: I think the reason why I can't mark it as resolved is because I didn't start the thread, is that right?
@cherry0: Yes, that is correct. I forgot it wasn't you who started the thread: sorry about that! ;-)
In case you want to know how to do it for other threads you open, the option appears as a dropdown box on the right side of the thread with the title "This topic is".
@minimatical: could you do the honors whenever you can?
Thanks!

hello, i have a question,
I followed this threads advice to hide the posted on date on my posts as well, only now i am getting this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/jadelor/domains/canelaevents.nl/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 583
Can any one help me? I am very inexperienced at HTML so i dont really know what to look for.
Any help is apreciated!!
CHEERS!!
JADE
Hi jadermeister,
You seem to be missing a curly bracket { or have one two many in your functions.php file. Also, check to see if your opening (<?php) and closing (?>) PHP tags are properly placed.
If you still can't figure it out, try creating a paste of your functions.php code in Pastebin so that we can take a look at it.
Cheers!

In the child theme's style.css add this code:
.post .entry-utility, .post .entry-meta {display:none;}
this works in the twenty ten theme too. Probably works in most themes.

I had a similar problem. I wanted to remove the "Posted on".
I copied the twentyeleven_posted_on() function to my child functions.php and removed the "posted on"-part. <- Here is where you remove what you want.
Then renamed it to custom_posted_on().
Finally edited the content.php and content-single.php to contain the custom_posted_on.
<?php if ( 'post' == get_post_type() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php custom_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php endif; ?>
It might help.
