Remove metadata from sticky post

  • I use a sticky post as a ‘second header’ on my twentyten theme and I would like to remove, what I think is called the metadata, at the bottom of just this sticky post (in my case this seems to be ‘posted in’, ‘leave a comment’ and ‘edit’). If it can be done in the CSS editor that would be great as I’m a bit shy of getting into the php stuff.

  • Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. Instead create a child theme for your changes. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

    Thanks for the reply, but I don’t feel experienced enough yet to put together a child theme, hopefully later when I’ve gained a bit more confidence.
    Until then I have been editing the CSS in the CSS Editor and keeping back up copies as I go.
    Please help.

    You can download a basic Twenty Ten child theme from here.

    So that’s a no then.
    Can anybody else help?

    That’s not a no, that’s a “don’t hurt yourself in gut wrenching painful ways and why not do it right from the get go?” ??

    Esmi gave you a start (this is a self-help forum) and you really do want to use a child theme.

    Thanks for the reply, but I don’t feel experienced enough yet to put together a child theme, hopefully later when I’ve gained a bit more confidence.

    Sure you are.

    – Download that child theme.

    – Install that zip file via your WordPress dashboard.

    – Edit wp-content/themes/twentyten-child/style.css and add these lines:

    .sticky .entry-meta {
	display: none;
}

    – Enjoy Child Theme Goodness. The meta info (class entry-meta) should be hidden on the sticky post after that.

    Note: I just noticed that child theme is for twentyten and my advice was for Twenty Eleven. Change the twentyten strings to twentyeleven in style.css and you’ll be fine.

    THanks for the idea of the child theme – how do I remove the meta data from all posts, not just from sticky posts?

    Thanks
