[Theme: Hey Cookie] How To Remove Author Name And Comment Box From Posts?

Hello again,

Just to add one more thing in point 1. (above), along with Author name, also tell me how can I remove date, time, author name i.e. all the things.

And, the one shown in your demo: https://heycookie-demo.calobeedoodles.com/2008/06/08/post-format-test-chat/ the images of post comes in the left side, how it comes?

Thanks

Karan

Thanks! Glad you like it.

I would make any changes in a child theme.

1) Set .post small to display: none in your child theme’s stylesheet to remove date, time, and author name. To remove comment links, turn off comments by going to Settings -> Discussion and unchecking the Discussion settings for each individual post created prior to changing the main setting.

2) Post navigation displays the post title, and will default to Next Post/Previous Post if no title has been set. This is a WordPress default; my guess is you need to use a filter in functions.php to change it, or a plugin.

3) Recreate footer.php in your child theme and you can change the footer text area however you like.

As for the post thumbnails on the demo, I think that’s because the original images aren’t wide enough to take up the full width of the post area.

Hi Caroline,

Thank you for creating a great theme.

I too am trying to remove the date and author from my posts ie “October 10, 2011 by jacksonwicks”

I tried the code you suggest above “.post small to display: none” however I don’t think it is in the correct format?

Sorry I’m not great at coding and usually just copy and paste the code I need to support forums like this.

my site is https://www.jacksonwicks.com

Thanks.

Actually while I’m here, I have disabled comments on posts, however I would also like to remove the “Comments closed” text at the end of the post.

Any hints?

Thanks!

Hi @jacksonwicks,

You need to use CSS format:

.post small {
   display: none;
}

You can do the same for the “no comments” message by setting .nocomments to display: none as well:

.post small,
.nocomments {
   display: none;
}

We don’t really offer CSS support in this forum, but there are a number of helpful resources to get you started here:

Firebug is handy for troubleshooting problems like this

In the future, please post a new topic, since this one is quite old. Thanks!

Did the trick perfectly. Thanks so much!!

I also realized it helps to refresh my cache when testing if changes have worked.
