how to hide Twenty Eleven theme front page date and catagory

look into content.php and content-single.php (depending on if you want to change the line in the index page or in single posts).

please make sure to work with a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes instead of editing the default Twenty Eleven directly.

hi, must work with child theme? default twenty eleven cant edit directly?

hi, must work with child theme? default twenty eleven cant edit directly?

reasons to work with a child theme:
a:
an unedited default theme Twenty Eleven is important in case your site crashes, as a fallback theme for troubleshooting;
b:
a child theme keeps customisations safe during an upgrade of the Twenty Eleven theme, which otherwise get overwritten;
c:
a well organized child theme makes it easier to keep track on the edits.

– there is no technical reason against editing Twenty Eleven directly – however, this forum will be very reluctant to help with any problems arising through editing the default Twenty Eleven.

thanks. like this case, how to create child theme?

how to create child theme?

@t-p already posted the link to the ‘child themes’ codex chapter https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

– where are you stuck in following that?

“Create a directory, put a properly formatted style.css file in it”

Is it mean create a directory at wp-content/themes/anyname/ ?

Yes.

after that copy all the file from Twenty Eleven theme to new folder ?

No. Please see the page at the link that alchymyth posted above.

may i know what mean “put a properly formatted style.css file in it, and you have a child theme”

In the code link I posted, please review this section:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme

i have done below step:

Make a new directory in wp-content/themes, and name it twentyeleven-child (or anything you like).
Save the code below in a file named style.css, and drop this file in the new directory.
Go to Dashboard ? Themes and activate your new theme, the Twenty Eleven Child.

what mean “/* opens the child theme’s information header.” ?

I am not sure what your question is.

I have been done below step:

Save the code below in a file named style.css, and drop this file in the new directory.

After that, I wish to edit the appearance of the new theme.
