You need to amend the twentyten_posted_on() function in functions.php and remove:
<?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; ?>
from loop.php. But be warned that your customisations will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPress or the theme. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.
Thanks. What do i amend the twentyten_posted_on() function to exactly in functions.php
Ive removed the bit which displays what category a post is in but im having a problem removing the date and author part.
I removed the section of the code in functions.php but it messed it up completely, when i viewed the site it just displayed an error. Fortunatly i had a copy of functions.php so uploaded the original again.
What do i have to edit exactly in functions.php to remove the date/author part?
I still haven’t resolved this. Can someone please help.
You need to change:
if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyten_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
* Prints HTML with meta information for the current post—date/time and author.
*
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
function twentyten_posted_on() {
printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
get_permalink(),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
get_the_date()
),
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
get_the_author()
)
);
}
endif;
to:
if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyten_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
* Prints HTML with meta information for the current post—date/time and author.
*
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
function twentyten_posted_on() {
}
endif;
But remember that, ideally, this should be part of a child theme’s functions.php file – in which case, you would just use:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
}
