[Resolved] Make post date not clickable

[Steig]

Hello,

I’d like to make it so that the post date isn’t clickable. Is that possible?

Thanks!

[Steig]

Let’s make it so the author isn’t clickable either.

To remove it from the date, this should help: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_date_output/#remove-link-from-date

For the author: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_post_author_output/#remove-link

Hope this helps 🙂

I’ve put both those into the simple css window and they aren’t removing the links.

Hi there,

that code is PHP. This article explains ways to add that:

https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

It contains a link to the Code Snippets plugin which is easiest method if you don’t have a child theme.

I’m running a child theme and put that code into functions.php. The result has removed clickability, but the post date is shown twice, back to back.

<?php
/**
 * GeneratePress child theme functions and definitions.
 *
 * Add your custom PHP in this file. 
 * Only edit this file if you have direct access to it on your server (to fix errors if they happen).
 */

function generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts() {
	if ( is_rtl() ) {
		wp_enqueue_style( 'generatepress-rtl', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'rtl.css' );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts', 100 );

/* remove link from date */
add_filter( 'generate_post_date_output','tu_remove_date_link', 10, 2 );
function tu_remove_date_link( $output, $time_string ) {
	printf( '%s',
		$time_string
	);
}

/* remove link from post author */
add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', function() {
    printf( ' %1$s',
        sprintf( '%1$s %4$s',
            __( 'by','generatepress'),
            esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
            esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ),
            get_the_author() ) ),
            esc_html( get_the_author() )
        ) 
    );
} );

Do you have any other custom functions on the site? Using the Code Snippets plugin maybe?

[Steig]

The only other customization I’m aware of what changing the content.php file as follows:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying posts within the loop.
 *
 * @package GeneratePress
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?> <?php generate_do_microdata( 'article' ); ?>>
	<div class="inside-article">
		<?php
		/**
		 * generate_before_content hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 *
		 * @hooked generate_featured_page_header_inside_single - 10
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_before_content' );
		?>

		<header class="entry-header">
			<?php
			/**
			 * generate_before_entry_title hook.
			 *
			 * @since 0.1
			 */
			do_action( 'generate_before_entry_title' );

			the_title( sprintf( '<h2 class="entry-title" itemprop="headline"><a class="sg-iframe-popup-133" href="%s" rel="bookmark">', esc_url( get_permalink() ) ), '</a></h2>' );

			/**
			 * generate_after_entry_title hook.
			 *
			 * @since 0.1
			 *
			 * @hooked generate_post_meta - 10
			 */
			do_action( 'generate_after_entry_title' );
			?>
		</header><!-- .entry-header -->

		<?php
		/**
		 * generate_after_entry_header hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 *
		 * @hooked generate_post_image - 10
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_after_entry_header' );

		if ( generate_show_excerpt() ) : ?>

			<div class="entry-summary" itemprop="text">
				<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
			</div><!-- .entry-summary -->

		<?php else : ?>

			<div class="entry-content" itemprop="text">
				<?php
				the_content();

				wp_link_pages( array(
					'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . __( 'Pages:', 'generatepress' ),
					'after'  => '</div>',
				) );
				?>
			</div><!-- .entry-content -->

		<?php endif;

		/**
		 * generate_after_entry_content hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 *
		 * @hooked generate_footer_meta - 10
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_after_entry_content' );

		/**
		 * generate_after_content hook.
		 *
		 * @since 0.1
		 */
		do_action( 'generate_after_content' );
		?>
	</div><!-- .inside-article -->
</article><!-- #post-## -->

This was to make it so that each post detail page shows as a popup.

It looks like the functions you added in your child theme are missing various elements from the examples on the pages I linked you to. Can you re-add them and make sure everything looks the same?

[Steig]

That did it; sorry about that.

[Tom]

No problem! 🙂
