[not a bump, this is an update]

I’m looking through the comments in function.php of the parent theme and it states the following about the meta tag.

if ( ! function_exists( 'twentytwelve_entry_meta' ) ) :
/**
 * Prints HTML with meta information for current post: categories, tags, permalink, author, and date.
 *
 * Create your own twentytwelve_entry_meta() to override in a child theme.

So, that means I can create my own function called twentytwelve_entry_meta and it will automatically take priority, is that right?

It’s the semi-official WordPress theme, but from my understanding, it’s not long been released. I can make all the changes I want by directly modifying the functions.php file, but I was hoping I could do it through the child theme.

I appreciate all your help.

Thanks for helping.

If I wanted to keep just the date in the meta info, would that be possible?

[No bumping, thank you.]

I want to make the meta info change as mentioned above and move the “leave a reply” link to after the post.

Hi Josh,

Please excuse my ignorance, this is all totally new and confusing for me.

So, using my example above, I want to use my child theme’s function.php file to remove some of the meta (?) info at the end of each post.

I know what code is responsible for generating it and in turn what I need to remove, but I’m unsure how I go about that when using a child theme.

Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.

Worked perfectly, thanks very much.
