Hiding Post Header Information

    I’ve recently had a site built for me using WordPress. The designers handed it over to me last month with a brief tutorial, and on the whole, I’ve had no problems updating and making changes.

    Until now. I have a category called Galleries which has 4 sub-categories. Each of these has 1 post associated with it. When the site was being built, I asked the designers to amend the posts so that they didn’t have the usual post header info showing (“posted by xxx on xx of xxx in…etc”) which they did. I’ve recently added a new category and it’s showing all of that info at the top of the post, including the post thumbnail.

    I’ve been all through my dashboard and can’t find anything that I’ve forgotten to tick/untick.

    Can anyone shed any light on this? Appreciate your time and effort.

    Thanks

    My first thought would be the theme designer created something along the lines of category or page “templates” for each of the Gallery sub-categories.

    Here are some links for more reading:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

    You may also be able to address the “post-meta” (the details in question) with CSS but, IMHO, the items are not uniquely identified very well in the theme.

    Thanks for the reply. I’m totally new to WP so don’t really know my way around any of the CSS side of things yet. I understand the function of these templates though, and I can’t find a template for each of the Gallery sub-categories, just one called category_gallery.php, and I’m assuming if this had been created to hide the post-meta then it would apply to any new category that’s added.

    Apologies if I’m missing something, but I’m still learning 🙂

    Sorted it. The designers had put some sort of clause into the Category.php file that told it to act a certain way for specific Category ID’s and because I’d added a new one, this wasn’t included. So I added it in, and it all worked fine.

    I used to build databases for a big bank and am quite used to working with code, and this definitely doesn’t seem like very good coding practice…hmmm

    I’m glad you got it sorted …

    I also noticed an item or two I would have addressed in addition to this issue when I was reviewing the source on your site, feel free to contact me if you need additional help.
