Hiding “posted on.. by…” in posts (Twenty-ten)

You could hide it with css. Or it should be in the index.php,page.php, and/or single.php of theme. I put my css modifications at the bottom of the style.css to override the themes defaults. So I don’t create a mess.
.entry-meta{display:none;}

You can edit themes within admin then download it as backup or edit on your computer through FTP. Whatever you prefer for workflow.

darrellonsite — thanks so much, worked like a charm! The other explanations I read were so convoluted, this was a cinch. Yay!

One more question since you’re an expert: how to supress the “Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off |” at the bottom of the page? I assume this is in the style sheet, but not clear what to do, can I just delete it? Which is it exactly, I see a lot of code about comments.

Or I’ve read about hiding (by changing color to white), what’s the other way?

Quick way with css is .entry-utility{display:none;}. If you have comments disabled (Settings > Discussion) the form should not display either.

Or inside the index.php and single.php remove everything inside and including the <div class=”entry-utility”>…</div> and remove comments_template(); to completely remove the form.

I haven’t actually looked at this theme’s files but it should be similar.

Thanks all!

I also figured out I can make everything “pages” and have no posts, thereby omitting the post footer.

Good topic question. Great answer to the problem.
This CSS update worked fine for me.

Thank you very much.

I think the problem many of us are having is that there is no reference to date or time in any of the php template files anymore.

Just where exactly is the date information hidden?

line 493 to 514 in functions.php of the theme;

function twentyten_posted_on() {

it is called in loop.php before the content:

<div class="entry-meta">
				<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-meta -->

Simple and it works! What could be better?

I decided to comment it and intial it.

/* Hide post meta (SEA)
———————————-*/
.entry-meta{display:none;}

Put it right below

.comment-meta,
.comment-body tr th,
.comment-body thead th,
.entry-content label,
.entry-content tr th,
.entry-content thead th,
.entry-meta,
.entry-title,
.entry-utility,

This will help me keep track of what I added and what it does. I am not a programmer, so I get lost a lot.

Thanks a lot for the solution, this is the part that worked for me:

Quick way with css is .entry-utility{display:none;}. If you have comments disabled (Settings > Discussion) the form should not display either.

Thank you, huge help!
