Remove Post Info and Post Meta from Custom Post Types in Genesis Theme in WordPress

April 16, 2014 Leave a Comment

After creating custom post types in WordPress on a Genesis theme by default the post info is displayed which contains the post author, post date and comments info and the post meta is also displayed which contains the category and tag values.

custom-post-info-custom-post-type

You may want to have these values removed for your custom post types but leave them intact for regular posts. This is possible by adding an action and function in your themes functions.php file:

// Remove Post Info, Post Meta from CPT
function themeprefix_remove_post_info() {
	if ('custom_post_type_name' == get_post_type()) {//add in your CPT name
		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
		}
}
add_action ( 'get_header', 'themeprefix_remove_post_info' );

All you need to swap in the above code is your custom_post_type name in the if statement. Then these post info and post meta data is removed just from that custom post type.

custom-post-info-custom-post-type-no-meta

The remove action for the genesis_post_info has a priority number set (12), this is because the original action is added with this number in the post.php file in the structure directory of the framework. To remove the original action they have to be exactly the same.
