@cconstantine:
That’s true. But there may be reasons not only to hide them but totally remove them.
Only hide with css still keeps it at the source code.
btw here’s a better example of the code that should be insert into functions.php. Just remove whatever you don’t want to appear.
function highwind_post_meta() {
if ( ! is_page() ) {
?>
<aside class="post-meta">
<ul>
<li class="categories"><?php the_category( ', ' ); ?></li>
<li class="comment"><?php comments_popup_link( __( '0 Comments', 'highwind' ), __( '1 Comment', 'highwind' ), __( '% Comments', 'highwind' ) ); ?></li>
<?php the_tags( '<li class="tags">', ', ','</li>' ); ?>
<?php if ( apply_filters( 'highwind_meta_author', true ) ) { ?>
<li class="author"><?php if ( apply_filters( 'highwind_meta_author_link', true ) ) { the_author_posts_link(); } else { the_author(); } ?></li>
<?php } // endif ?>
</ul>
</aside><!-- /.post-meta -->
<?php
}
}
