How to remove posted date and by…

I would like to remove the date and author of the post and also the posted in uncategorized/comments off. Thanks.

moserengineering,

Open the functions.php file and look for the following code. Just comment it out in case you want it later by using /* and */.

if ( ! function_exists( 'twentyten_posted_on' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for the current post—date/time and author.
 *
 * @since Twenty Ten 1.0
 */
function twentyten_posted_on() {
	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
		sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
			get_permalink(),
			esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
			get_the_date()
		),
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
			get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
			sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
			get_the_author()
		)
	);
}
endif;

Thanks, that worked to get rid of the date and author.

Now, how about getting rid of the Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off part?

below this function you will see twentyten_posted_in() function. Edit this for Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off part.

I found this and deleted it but it didn’t seem to do anything? Is this the right thing?

if ( ! function_exists( ‘twentyten_posted_in’ ) ) :
/**
* Prints HTML with meta information for the current post (category, tags and permalink).
*
* @since Twenty Ten 1.0
*/
function twentyten_posted_in() {
// Retrieves tag list of current post, separated by commas.
$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( ”, ‘, ‘ );
if ( $tag_list ) {
$posted_in = __( ‘This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s. Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
} elseif ( is_object_in_taxonomy( get_post_type(), ‘category’ ) ) {
$posted_in = __( ‘This entry was posted in %1$s. Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
} else {
$posted_in = __( ‘Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
}
// Prints the string, replacing the placeholders.
printf(
$posted_in,
get_the_category_list( ‘, ‘ ),
$tag_list,
get_permalink(),
the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ )
);
}
endif;

yes.

can someone post the original code for the functions php for the twentyten template. I think I need to get back to the original and try this again. Thanks.

just DL a fresh copy to your computer and grab the code

I uploaded the original file (thanks Rev. Voodoo) and now when I follow post 3 and delete the information my page says Fatal error: Call to undefined function twentyten_posted_on() in /home2/jmoseren/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten/loop.php on line 128.

Any ideas? Thanks.

remove / or commenting the function twentyten_posted_on() and twentyten_posted_in() in loop.php

I found twentyten_posted_on() in the loop file in a couple spots and I tried deleting some stuff but it didn’t work. What parts from below am I supposed to delete? Thanks.

Post long code in https://pastebin.com/ so its easier to read and no markup mistakes from the forum.

<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>

just this bit I would think? Could just be commented out like this:

<!-- <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?> -->

I think its in there twice

thank you, that worked.

Sure thing!
