How to remove Dates from Posts in Genesis

by 11 Comments

Looking to get rid of dates from appearing in the post info text in your Genesis site?

Add the following in child theme’s functions.php:

add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
/**
 * Customize entry meta in the entry header.
 *
 * @param string $post_info Existing post info
 * @return Modified post info
 */
function sp_post_info_filter( $post_info ) {
    $post_info = __( 'by', 'genesis' ) . ' [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments] [post_edit]';

    return $post_info;
}

  • Hi Sridhar,

    This one didn’t work for me. I went into the theme folder via FTP and modified functions.php in the child theme folder with the code you supplied but it had no effect that I can see. I flushed out the cache but I’m still seeing the dates. Any idea why?

    Thanks,

    Bill

  • Hey Sridhar, in past I got some useful trick from this site.
    But, this time I want to hide publish date from my post. But, it didn’t work.
    So, please help with regard to this.

  • Hi Sridhar !

    The code works perfectly on Ambiance, thank you.

    I was wondering if you knew a way to make the date appear on the post itself, but not on the landing page, so we could only see the title and the featured image when on the homepage.

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

  • Worth keeping in mind, if you are using the plugin “Genesis Simple Edits” it has its own setting for this, which might be overriding this code (I tried this code in Beautiful Pro theme and it didn’t work, then I realised I could make the change in the Simple Edits interface.)

  • Hi Sridhar!

    The code worked for me on Essence. But what I was trying to accomplish was to leave the category only and remove date, author, and comments. How should I get this result?
