Hiya,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to remove the title and meta from a certain page on my site. The page I want to remove them from is http://mydomain/forums

Then I also want to remove entry-meta from all pages in the following directories

http://mydomain/forums/forum/…
http://mydomain/forums/topic/…

Hope you can help.

Kindest Regards

ThatFatGuy

    Hi Paul

    You can fix this with some custom CSS. If you navigate to Appearance > Custom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    article.post .entry-header .entry-meta, article.page .entry-header .entry-meta {
     display:none !important;
    }
    
    article.post .entry-header h1.entry-title, article.page .entry-header h1.entry-title {
      display:none !important;
    }
    

    Let me know if that works for you

    Cheers :)

    Hey,

    Ok, I’ve spent hours messing around with various tags that I could find from inspecting the page (I really am extremely amateur at CSS) and couldn’t come up with anything.

    In a nutshell, what I want is for the “posted by on” line, under all the headings on just the forum pages, to go away without effecting the other areas of the site. I want them on my other pages so they’re fine but I want to remove them from all the forum pages (as they don’t seem to work anyway, looks like the date is always missing for some reason).

    Sorry for all the messages, but I think my own confusion may have resulted in my posting confusing messages to you. I’m sorry if they were confusing.

    I don’t really understand CSS very well, but basically what I’m looking for is something that does the following:-

    <any pages in /forums only> <that has .entry-meta> {
       display:none !important;
    }
    

    But I just can’t find a way to do this. I’m so sorry be such a problem to you.

    Thanks for your patience,

    Paul

    Well blow me … I’ve been hacking away at this with barely any CSS experience other than what I’ve learned from reading this forum (Thanks SiteOrigin!!) … and I’ve fell across the answer completely by accident.

    If anyone is using bbPress and wants to remove the (not working) date-stamps (listed under all the forum pages title, with the date always missing so that it usually just says “posted on by” or sometimes “posted on by “), then I think you can just use the following (it worked for me at least):

    .bbpress .entry-meta {
      display:none !important;
    }
    

    If there is a better, more correct way of doing this, could someone at SiteOrigin post so that others aren’t led astray by my potentially bad code lol.

    I want to say a HUGE thank you to SIteOrigin, and Addo especially for this particular problem, for providing such fantastic support and for putting up with my inane ineptitude. I probably would have pulled out all my hair, if it hadn’t been for you guys … thank you, so very much :D
