Remove reference to Category and Comments

Hi Monique,

If you’re using Posts in Page, I’d recommend copying the posts_loop_template.php file from the plugin’s templates folder to your theme and customize it there. You can find some instructions at the bottom of the shortcode list on this page.

[ic_add_posts template=’template-in-theme-dir.php’] – In case you want to style your markup, add meta data, etc. Each shortcode can reference a different template. These templates must exist in the theme directory or in a sub-directory named posts-in-page.

Once you’ve copied that file into your theme per above, you’ll likely want to remove or comment out lines 30 – 76:

<!--	This outputs the post META information -->
<div class="entry-utility">
	<?php
	/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma. */
	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'posts-in-page' ) );
	if ( $categories_list ) :
		?>
		<span class="cat-links">
			<?php
			printf(
				/* translators: 1: posted in label. 2: list of categories. */
				'<span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links">%1$s</span> %2$s',
				esc_html__( 'Posted in', 'posts-in-page' ),
				$categories_list // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped
			);
			?>
		</span>
		<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php
	/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma. */
	$tags_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'posts-in-page' ) );
	if ( $tags_list ) :
		?>
		<span class="tag-links">
			<?php
			printf(
				/* translators: 1: tagged label. 2: list of tags. */
				'<span class="entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-tag-links">%1$s</span> %2$s',
				esc_html__( 'Tagged', 'posts-in-page' ),
				$tags_list // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped
			);
			?>
		</span>
		<span class="meta-sep">|</span>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<span class="comments-link">
		<?php
		comments_popup_link(
			esc_html__( 'Leave a comment', 'posts-in-page' ),
			esc_html__( '1 Comment', 'posts-in-page' ),
			esc_html__( '% Comments', 'posts-in-page' )
		);
		?>
	</span>
	<?php edit_post_link( esc_html__( 'Edit', 'posts-in-page' ), '<span class="meta-sep">|</span> <span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div>

Does that make sense?
