Removing the Authors Name from the Post Info in Genesis Child Theme

February 13, 2014 3 Comments

By default in a Genesis child theme the post-info info on a blog single post contains the article date, authors name and comment link.

post-meta-genesis

To change these details such as remove the authors name from the blog post,  you can adjust what is output by adding a filter and function to the functions.php file of the child theme. This will override the default output.

/** Customise the post-info function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'genesischild_post_info' );

function genesischild_post_info($post_info) {
	if (!is_page()) {
	$post_info = 'Posted on February 13, 2014 Written by Neil Gee 3 Comments ';
	return $post_info;
	}
}

The add_filter function calls in the function below genesischild_post_info and displays on the page what is declared in that function.

The key data to edit is the short code values added after the $post_info variable, to remove the authors name and you would just delete “Written by [ post_author ]”

/** Customise the post info info function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'genesischild_post_info' );

function genesischild_post_info($post_info) {
	if (!is_page()) {
	$post_info = 'Posted on February 13, 2014 3 Comments ';
	return $post_info;
	}
}

Resulting in :

post-meta-genesis-author

Based on the same theory you can also remove the date [ post_date ] and comment links [ post_comments ], leave the [ post_edit ] as this allows the post to be edited by a logged in user. You can also edit the regular text outside of the shortcode to whatever you like.
