Hide “By” and “Updated” from single post

Hi tommyfoxy2. How about the Published date? Are you still wanting to display that?

You can add this styles to hide author
span.by-author {
display: none;
}

You can add this styles to hide author
span.by-author {
display: none;
}

That hides the author and the date which is not what I want to do

@bdbrown yes id prefer to keep the published date

1. If you don’t already have a child theme install one using these instructions:
https://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/239-using-a-child-theme-with-hueman

2. Using your host file manager or FTP, create a subfolder /parts in your child theme.

3. Copy the parent theme template file /parts/single-author-date.php to the /parts subfolder in your child theme.

4. In the single-author-date.php file change the main default content which is this:

<p class="post-byline"><?php _e('by','hueman'); ?>
   <span class="vcard author">
     <span class="fn"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span>
   </span> &middot;
    <?php if ( hu_is_checked('structured-data') ) : ?>
          <?php if( get_the_modified_date() != get_the_date() || get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time() ) : ?>
              <?php _e('Published', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
              &middot; <?php _e('Updated', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="updated" datetime="<?php the_modified_date( get_option('date_format') ); ?>"><?php the_modified_date( get_option('date_format') ); ?></time>
          <?php else : ?>
              <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
          <?php endif; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <span class="published"><?php echo $published_date; ?></span>
    <?php endif ?>
 </p>

to this:

<p class="post-byline">
    <!-- remove post author link and modified date -->
    <?php if ( hu_is_checked('structured-data') ) : ?>
          <?php if( get_the_modified_date() != get_the_date() || get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time() ) : ?>
              <?php _e('Published', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
          <?php else : ?>
              <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
          <?php endif; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <span class="published"><?php echo $published_date; ?></span>
    <?php endif ?>
 </p>

Doesn’t work, just breaks the site and makes all my posts white

Well, that’s not good. I just ran the same modification on a test site and didn’t have any problems. Can you copy the entire contents of your child theme single-author-date.php file here (make sure to enclose the code block using the “code” button). Thanks.

<?php
/*  Print the post author. Compatible with Google Structured data. Must be used in the WordPress loop
* @php return html string
/* ------------------------------------ */
$published_date = get_the_date( get_option('date_format') );
?>
<p class="post-byline"><?php _e('by','hueman'); ?>
   <span class="vcard author">
     <span class="fn"><?php the_author_posts_link(); ?></span>
   </span> &middot;
    <?php if ( hu_is_checked('structured-data') ) : ?>
          <?php if( get_the_modified_date() != get_the_date() || get_the_modified_time() != get_the_time() ) : ?>
              <?php _e('Published', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
              &middot; <?php _e('Updated', 'hueman'); ?> <time class="updated" datetime="<?php the_modified_date( get_option('date_format') ); ?>"><?php the_modified_date( get_option('date_format') ); ?></time>
          <?php else : ?>
              <time class="published" datetime="<?php echo $published_date; ?>"><?php echo $published_date; ?></time>
          <?php endif; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <span class="published"><?php echo $published_date; ?></span>
    <?php endif ?>
 </p>

Is that the single-author-date.php file from your child theme? It doesn’t appear that it’s been modified with the code I posted above. In any case, I ran the code you posted and it doesn’t generate any errors.
