How to remove "posted by" "posted on"

  • Hello All,

    I have had to resort to making a full new installation of WordPress and it’s been a while since I have editd the php files.

    I am making a custom template using the default 2010 WP theme. It appears to me that things are now located in different areas. Can you tell me how I can get rid of the “posted on” and “posted by” that usually follows a Post?

    Actually, maybe I have a better question. Since I am trying to make this more of regular website, the Home page content seems to be placed by making a “post” and the pages I add as regular pages. Does this make sense?

    Thanks,

    Eugene

  • by default, the home page does show posts

    You can set it to use apage by setting a static front page in settings->reading

    As for the other stuff, first off you wouldn’t want to edit the twentyten theme
    https://go.rvoodoo.com/WPchild

    next up, posted on and posted by are controlled in functions.php

    there are functions in twentyten called twentyten_posted_in and twentyten_posted_on which contain that info

    You can copy those functions to your child theme’s functions.php and edit them

    Or you can copy the loop.php to your child theme, and remove the calls to those functions

    Hey, I really appreciate the response. Great information!

    One more question…where can I adjust the size of the header graphic? i.e. width x lenght in pixels?

    also done from child theme

    Thank you Rev! It seems I should spend some time reading on your site. You’ve made it really simple for the pseudo-literates.

    Cheers,

    Well, I’d made quite a few themes, but never did a child theme.

    So I am continuously working on my child theme. Each time I figure anything out, I post about it. So hopefully there is a good amount of information on that site, it will definitely keep growing….

    Good luck!
