Hello.
How can I hide de date of the comments? I dont want hide it with CSS, I want to remove because it is a best practice to SEO.
Thanks.
Hi there,
In that case you'd need a child theme and copy this function in the child theme's function.php
if ( ! function_exists( 'generate_comment' ) ) {
/**
* Template for comments and pingbacks.
*
* Used as a callback by wp_list_comments() for displaying the comments.
*/
function generate_comment( $comment, $args, $depth ) {
$args['avatar_size'] = apply_filters( 'generate_comment_avatar_size', 50 );
if ( 'pingback' == $comment->comment_type || 'trackback' == $comment->comment_type ) : ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php comment_class(); ?>>
<div class="comment-body">
<?php _e( 'Pingback:', 'generatepress' ); // WPCS: XSS OK. ?> <?php comment_author_link(); ?> <?php edit_comment_link( __( 'Edit', 'generatepress' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php comment_class( empty( $args['has_children'] ) ? '' : 'parent' ); ?>>
<article id="div-comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" class="comment-body" <?php generate_do_microdata( 'comment-body' ); ?>>
<footer class="comment-meta">
<?php
if ( 0 != $args['avatar_size'] ) {
echo get_avatar( $comment, $args['avatar_size'] );
}
?>
<div class="comment-author-info">
<div class="comment-author vcard" <?php generate_do_microdata( 'comment-author' ); ?>>
<?php printf( '<cite itemprop="name" class="fn">%s</cite>', get_comment_author_link() ); ?>
</div><!-- .comment-author -->
<div class="entry-meta comment-metadata">
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( get_comment_link( $comment->comment_ID ) ); ?>">
</a>
<?php edit_comment_link( __( 'Edit', 'generatepress' ), '<span class="edit-link">| ', '</span>' ); ?>
</div><!-- .comment-metadata -->
</div><!-- .comment-author-info -->
<?php if ( '0' == $comment->comment_approved ) : ?>
<p class="comment-awaiting-moderation"><?php _e( 'Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'generatepress' ); // WPCS: XSS OK. ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</footer><!-- .comment-meta -->
<div class="comment-content" itemprop="text">
<?php
/**
* generate_before_comment_content hook.
*
* @since 2.4
*
*/
do_action( 'generate_before_comment_text', $comment, $args, $depth );
comment_text();
/**
* generate_after_comment_content hook.
*
* @since 2.4
*
*/
do_action( 'generate_after_comment_text', $comment, $args, $depth );
?>
</div><!-- .comment-content -->
</article><!-- .comment-body -->
<?php
endif;
}
}
Would it work if I add the code in the Code Snippets plugin?
Unfortunately not. I actually just tested this and confirmed with Tom.
Child theme is needed until we add a filter in the future.
It works.
Thanks!
No problem :)
