How to modify quicksand_entry_meta

  • I am trying to modify quicksand_entry_meta. I located the function in template-tags.php. I want to remove the date from displaying on the post so I removed the following from the function:

    // date
    if (in_array(‘date’, $onlyShowThisMetaInfo) && in_array(get_post_type(), array(‘post’, ‘attachment’))) {
    $quicksand_entry_date = get_quicksand_entry_date();
    echo wp_kses_post($quicksand_entry_date);
    }

    However, this is not working. The date still shows. I looked through other files to figure out where to modify the function but could find nothing.

    What am I doing wrong? Please advise where I modify this function.

    Doing this in a child theme btw.

    Thanks,

    Darrin

    Hello zaino,
    you don’t have to modify the code to blind out the date. Just goto your customizer->theme options->content and uncheck ‘date’ below ‘show meta’. That should do the job.
    Hope that helps ??

    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, that certainly helps for removing the date.

    I also want to make some other modifications to the function and would like to know which file to do this in.

    For example, if I want to write my own quicksand_entry_meta where do I do this? I attempted to do it in template-tags.php but it did not work. Any advice on customizing this would be awesome.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello zaino,
    first create a child-theme, i.e. with Child Theme Configurator, which creates a functions.php as well. Otherwise yor modifications will be overwritten by the next update. From there, just copy the function you’ve already mentioned ( quicksand_entry_meta() ) and paste it inside, but including if (!function_exists(‘quicksand_entry_meta’)). That’s it.

    Hope that helps ??
