How to Customize Post Info in Essence Pro’s Entry Header

by 3 Comments

Essence Pro‘s (v1.5.1) entry header shows categories, date and author info in the entry meta by default.

If you would like to remove all the info other than categories, simply edit Essence Pro’s functions.php, locate the essence_modify_post_info function (around L412) and replace

global $post;

setup_postdata( $post );

if ( is_single() ) {
    $post_info = '[post_categories before="" after=" &#47;"] [post_date] <i class="byline">' . __( 'by', 'essence-pro' ) . '</i> [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments before="&#47; "] [post_edit]';
} else {
    $post_info = '[post_categories before=""]';
}

with

$post_info = '[post_categories before=""]';

After:

  • No, Sridhar, NEVER update the function.php in Pro. The next update will remove it. Needs to go in the child function.php; the only “protected” source.
